I beleive it was 7 to 2 to stop the current count on equal protection under the law--and 5 of the majority 7 ruled that no additional recount could be constitutional. Moreover I beleive it was 3 of the majority of 7 that held the opinion that the Florida Supreme Court had violated Article IV section 2 of the US constitution.

Bottom line: it was 7 to 2 against the recount. The closer sounding 5 to 4 is just more Rat sponsered B.S., and I would appreciate it if people could get he story straight. Moreover, there was no way Gore could win if the recount continued, because the Florida legislator was ready to send their own delegates--and Article IV section 2 would have definatly kept any court out of that one.

If by some miricle the Florida Legislator did not stop Gore's ambition, the US senate would probably have dead locked on party lines and sent it to Gov Jeb Bush to make the call.

In light of this, it seems even someone as dellusional as Al Gore must understand that he is lying when he says he could have won.

Whoa there! That's nowhere near what could be done constitutionally. If the Florida legislature sent the certified delegates and the Florida Supreme Court sent another or they sent no delegates at all, I believe it then goes to the U.S. House of Representatives.

But I know the U.S. Senate and Gov. of Florida would have no power in the issue.
