BE,
Re: (The Supreme Court was) applying the law of the country, what do you think they were doing.

Nonsense. You must not have paid any attention to how the election was settled. The Supreme Court, by fiat, ended the election count in complete contravention to the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

The decision was so foul, that they even wrote into the decision that it could not be used as precedent for any future election dispute.

This was a one-off extralegal gift to Bush and the Republican Party that was totally invalid, unconstitutional and terribly consequential. There is no way in the world that anyone can say that the best candidate got elected. Here's an excellent opinion from Rock_nj about the mess that the Supreme Court has created:

"It's a joke to look back on the lies that Clinton told the country about his sexual behavior, in light of the lies coming out of Washington, DC over the past 2 years. Clinton was actually impeached for those harmless lies regarding his problems keeping his pants on?!?
Now, we've got a President who lies routinely. Who lies about really important stuff regarding all of our national security. There have been so many lies and retractions and changes of stories surrounding 9/11 that it really makes me wonder if anything coming out of DC these days can be trusted. We have a President who lied about our reasons for going to war and has caused the death of at least 350 servicemen and women to date and countless suffering for their families and friends.

No talk of impeachment for these really harmful lies, lies that have caused Americans to suffer and die, lies that have compromised our national security, made our country a less safe place to live, and has hurt our standing in the world community. Amazing! This country really is screwed up. We impeach a man for lying about his sexual escapades and don't even mention the "I" word concerning a man that has caused death, suffering and a major loss of prestige for our country as a result of his lying.

Bush's Record going in 2004:

3 million jobs lost
Surplus to biggest deficit in history
Relatively peaceful period, to period of endless war
Worst terrorist attacks in our nation's history
Routine lying and unprecedented secrecy
Lying about our reasons for going to war

And the American people might actually re-elect this guy. I mean come on people, wake up, President Bush has got to be about the worst thing ever to happen to our country in recent memory. He does not deserve to be re-elected. He serves a constiuency (ths super rich) who couldn't give a rats ass about everyone else in America. They're moving our jobs overseas and rolling back our social progress made since the early 20th Century, bring us into to war for THEIR benefit. The lunatics are running the asylum and will continue to do so until the American sheeple wake up. Which apparently will NEVER happen. It took the American people five years or more to wake up to the fraud known as Viet Nam. Apparently, they never learned any lessons from that debacle."
