Even the majority opinion, which no justice had the courage to sign his or her name to, didn't claim what you claim. They said that re recount could not be completed by December 18th.

The supreme court simply enforced the application of existing Florida state election laws.

After the fact various organizations recounted everything to try to show Gore won. The result was that Bush won and the supreme court decision changed nothing.

I wondered why you were tapping your foot while taking a shit at the airport. LOL

Actually, I think I know what the Supreme Court did. I was on a committee that review the briefs.

OK, you know what they did. I noticed you did not say I was wrong. But even if you think I am my main point remains the same. It would not have mattered.

You're wrong, too. But it's awfully procedurally complex. They basically ruled, under Florida law, that there was no time to count the ballots that were lawfully cast, and held that 3 U. S. C. §5 was a safe harbor that had been invoked by the legislature. Therefore Justice Bryer's proposed "remedy" was impossible. At least that's my recollection from reading the opinion the night it came out. I haven't read it since. It made me throw up that night and I have no desire to go reread it.
