The courts should not enter the "political thicket". The embarassing 2001 stopping of the Florida recount which was being conducted according to Florida will forever be etched in history as a partisan political decision. That decision was so shameful that the very same Court issued a codicil to that decision which said this decision applies to this case and only this case. It could not be used as a precedent. It would be amusing to see Americans laugh at the folly of a Supreme Court, who on one hand stopped a recount vote and on the other hand order the vote on another recount to go on until they get it right, that is right on the political spectrum.

Is this the Republican take on "fair and balanced"? In January of 2001 Republicans, with the aid of the Supreme Court stopped the legitimate count of votes according to established Florida statutes. In 2009 Republicans want the vote count being conducted according to Minnesota statutes to go on and on and on. Do they know whether they are coming or going? What is the puzzle here?
