29. A simple ruling that Florida could complete its recount would have changed everything...
And that fact was not lost on the SCOTUS. The equal protection argument was a ruse.

If you want to see how threadbare the decision was, read the opinion and you find the opinion is not to be relied upon in deciding other cases --only this one factual scenario. That assertion in its opinion was truly significant.

It was not the best day the SCOTUS ever had --and you can bet they have rued it since.
