"the USSC was good because it intervened in Florida's state courts"

Yes. It had to. I think you know that. They remanded the FLSC 9-0, they said the recount method that the FLSC invented was un-Constitutional by 7-2, and the 4 liberals wanted to give the FLSC another chance. The 5 sane judeges say no way. This was a Presidential election as you know, and we can't let one single states misguided and politically motivated Supreme Court decide an election. It was decided by the voters, and settled per existing law. It's very simple really. And I think you know all this.

"but Calif is bad..."

Yes. It is a state election that the State Supreme Court has ruled on. The 9th is taking the vote away from the people (you understand that Floridians actually voted, right?) and GOING AGAINST OUR CONSTITUTION.

"Now it sounds like you are saying USSC should now intervene in Calif"

Yes. The TOP federal court should overturn the Federal (not state) court that made this erroneous and baseless decision. As of now it looks like the rest of the 9th District will hear it and overturn the 3 politically motivated and rogue judges to save themselves the embarrassment of BEING OVERTUTNRD AGAIN by the USSC.

" since when would an order to recount the entire state be "stealing" the election?"

This did not happen. You know that Gore hand picked 4 pro-Gore and heavily demo counties to steal the victory. The FLSC recount they invented (on their 2nd attempt) allowed some counties that were partially hand counted to qualify and did not consider the undervotes. A system that the USSC said by a SEVEN to TWO vote was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. You know this I believe. You are either LYING or SERIOUSLY MIS-INFORMED. My guess is that you are lying.

SCOTUS has supported the rights of the voters and the legislated laws over that of judicial activists who sought to write law from the bench. It has consistently rejected judicial activism as was seen in the Florida SC matter-- perhaps with the recent decisions on affirmative action.
