Reply #14: Again, you conveniently forget (or ignore) a couple of things [View All]

The Supreme Court stopped the recount, and precluded any future recounts. Gore should have asked for a full state recount on Nov. 7 and didn't, but the fact was made moot by the Supreme Court when THEY STOPPED ALL COUNTING.

Secondly, you are forgetting that Scalia said that the counting must stop because it would "threaten irreparable harm to petitioner (Bush) ... by casting a cloud upon what he claims to be the legitimacy of his election." Gee, I don't know, it sounds to me like Scalia was already presuming a winner in this election and handed it to him before all votes were legally counted. But you can spin it any way you want.

And, BTW, this IS relevant. Florida played a lot of specious games in 2000. Their masters are looking to play them again in 2004, as well as broaden their field to California.
