Post #104,567 by jb4 6/2/03 5:53:17 PM Reply	That's not the point. The point is: State's Rights are good, except... ...when I don't like the outcome. (For various values of 'I', like, for example, certain Repos, neoCons and assorted Supreme Court justices with an agenda.) jb4 "We continue to live in a world where all our know-how is locked into binary files in an unknown format.

Post #104,569 by bepatient 6/2/03 5:55:32 PM Reply	I know it isn't But I didn't support the SC decision. Thought it set a bad precedent. I just got very tired of hearing everyone say that it had an effect on the outcome...which it didn't.

Post #104,609 by mhuber 6/3/03 3:55:27 AM Reply	Had a profound impact on outcome If a single Republican member of the court had a shred respect for the rule of law or the concept of a federation of States or judicial conservatism, or pretty much any of the values they touted during their selection processes, Bush would be a legitimate President. The fact that Gore would have lost anyway (due to his failure to request enough recounts, not due to the actual votes cast) no more clears the kingmakers than an autopsy revealing that the victim was about to die of natural causes absolves a murderer. ---- Whatever
