The US Supreme Court would have liked nothing better than to pass on this case. The FL SC gave them no choice. It was evident to 7 of the 9 justices that their decision was wrong. The blame for all of this lies with the FL SC. They could have/should have not overturned Judge Sauls case. It was their partisan politics and violation of their own rules that caused the problem in the first place.

Gore always said that he wanted a full fair and accurate count. I am sure Bush wanted that also. But the recount in FL was partial, unfair & inaccurate. If the Supreme Court would have said "dimples don't count" ,like the rule was before the election, Bush would have won the recount.
