You are exactly correct .. and that's a great point.
The court ruling was 7-2 to stop the ILLEGAL COUNTING which the FL Supreme Court allowed .. and which the USSC had already told the FL court to fix .. and they didn't .. they just continued counting.
James Baker was very instrumental in getting this victory for Bush .. but aside from that I don't have any confidence in his other abilities.
7 out of 9 justices did agree that what the Florida Supreme Court had done was unconstitutional but only 5 of them actually ruled to stop it.
