re: I would agree. Once the Supreme Court thinks it is the big shot there is no stopping them.

Glad to hear it, we're on the same page.

re: If they hadn't stepped in, the Congress would have had to determine which slate of electors to accept from Florida. Which do you think they would have accepted?

Not the way it would have played out. The US constitution specifically states that elections are a state issue. There would have been a state wide recount, as ordered by the Florida SC.

Whatever, the "states rights conservatives" on the USSC bench are not above politics... they play the states rights card when ti suits them. Watch for the assisted suicide ruling for Oregon... and then tell me about conservative judges and states rights.

Florida 2000 was stolen by Bushies. We only found out later how they did it. By scrubbing 57,700 black voters from the rolls. Just one one hundredth of those voters voting for Gore would have given him the White House. So he actually won. On top of that all kinds of other shenanigans. If Florida had voted over Gore certainly would have won.
