There were 7 out of 9 who saw a 14th Amendment issue with the current process, and 5 of 9 that saw no remedy so ordered the last recount to stop.
However, as a good conservative, I defer to constitutional authorities such as Mark Lavine who views the SCOTUS decision to use the 14th Amendment argument was bogus. However, slapping down the Florida Supreme Court on the basis of them departing from Florida election law was quite proper, although only the constructionist minority of the court saw it that way.
The SCOTUS decision ultimately didn't matter with respect to Bush winning. His electorates were already certified, and the Florida Legislature backed them. Moreover, the weight of evidence suggests Bush would have won the recounts underway.
No matter how many times liberals assert that the SCOTUS gave Bush the election, they always fail to back up this claim -- namely because it is blatantly false, but in part because liberals prefer to back up their dogmatic assertions with more extreme dogmatic assertions rather then looking at the facts (such as the constitution affirms the peoples right to keep and bear arms, but says nothing of a woman's "reproductive rights").
