While FLSC was outrageous in their attempts to deliver FL to Gore, issuance of the Bush v Gore decision was not necessary to achieve the proper result and, IMO, should not have been done

Bush's lawsuit was a nonjusticeable political question. Article II and Amendment XII provided all the resources necessary for the election to be resolved without the involvement of the courts.

There was NO POSSIBLE WAY Al Gore Jr. could have become President had the Constitution been followed. There was a slight possibility that Joe Lieberman would have been elected Vice President 51-50 by the Senate IF the Special Joint Session had discarded both slates of Florida electors.

As it was, the already too broad reach of the Supreme Court was expanded further, for no good purpose.
