"On December 8, in a 4–3 decision, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that manual recounts should continue in all counties where a statistically significant number of undervotes were observed for the office of president." Bush immediately filed suit against it. The Supreme Court ruled that all recounts must stop, and heard oral arguments.

"The following day, in a 7–2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Florida decision, holding that the various methods and standards of the recount process violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. The court ruled 5–4 on the remedy of the matter, with the majority holding that the Florida Supreme Court’s decision had created new election law—a right reserved for the state legislature—and that no recount could be held in time to satisfy a federal deadline for the selection of state electors."

What needs to be decided once and for all, is these liberal judges allowing late ballots, and those without postmarks on them, to be counted after the fact, or giving them a week or two after the election, to count the mail-in ballots. Wouldn't this fall within the same line of the Florida Supreme Court creating new election laws which in fact, is the responsibility of each State's Legislature?
