They are wrong wrong wrong. It shows that the Governor Bush and President Bush do believe in the rule of law. However, most importantly it shows the need for reform of our judiciary. If we had judges that merely interpret the law as strict constitutionalists (as do Thomas and Scalia) instead of making law by judicial fiat, we would have never reached this point in our history. What happened in Florida should bring even greater pressure for George Bushes nominees to the judicary to be confirmed by an up or down vote in the Senate.
"It shows that the Governor Bush and President Bush do believe in the rule of law. "
That is the problem. They believe in man given (judge) law, but not in Constitutional Law (CFR for example), not Natural Law (thou shalt not kill). Those higher laws trump judicial decrees.
If we are a nation governed by the "rule of law", well Hitler and Stalin had plenty of laws too. We are instead a nation governed by laws which are a subset of natural law. Once you take the higher religious aspect out of the law, then anything goes.
