From another Freeper (I can't recall where I found this):

The US Supreme Court ruled three times in the Election fiasco of 2000:

Regarding the inability of any authority to change the rules of a Federal election after the process started (in Floriduh's case, changing the counting and reporting rules in an Electoral College election), it was 9-0.

Regarding the failure to provide equal protection of the voters and their ballots, it was 7-2.

Regarding the complete lack of a Constitutional "remedy" for the Sore Loserman campaign, it was 5-4.

The last one is the one the Dems like to latch onto, but the other two are the key ones, IMHO.
