    #62 McCullough,

    while i agree as well, my take is that this is all a charade.. -me thinks they were ordered to do this.

    the dems will need bookO bucks in this midterm cycle to not be wiped clean. historically, they will lose seats on this cycle anyway, but now it has been compounded 10 fold by the madness of Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the closed door “backroom cabalers”

    This was just the “ticket” they needed.. -they will now have wide open phantom internet donations ala obama’s campaign. -and I’m sure the repubs will abuse the crapout of it as well.

    Let’s see if this “Bill” he spoke of is passed before the midterms. -if it is passed, but full of loopholes, we will have our answer..

    I would accept nothing but a bulletproof, full reversal.

    -s

    #80 Bush v. Gore was a fundamentally a coup d’état.

    Different voting precincts have a wide variety of voting machines and ballot types. Right there you need to scratch your head when lack of standardization is used as an excuse.

    The fact that the court’s decision was not to be used as a precedent in any other case is jaw dropping. That isn’t how the legal system is supposed to work.

    I also question that the supreme court was widely seen to be a political actor prior to Bush v. Gore. Obviously that has changed.

    The issue is that the determination of what was considered a legal vote (remember the dangling chads?) was changing day to day. Some considered chads that were attached but somewhat punched to be a vote, others did not and so on. This has nothing to do with the machines. This has to do with the way in which the recounts were being conducted by humans.

    You have a mistaken notion about how the system works. It is not the case that every Supreme Court decision is supposed to be used as precedent. A vast majority are to be sure, but it is not a requirement.
