Default Re: Libs, Dems: What should we do about Miers?

7 justices found that the recount was unconstitutional. If the recount is unconstitutional, then there must be a remedy. Oral arguments began Dec. 11 and the Electoral College (by law) must vote Dec. 18. And the state had to choose its six electors six days before the 18th (the next day). So either SCOTUS could conduct a new statewide recount and break the law or go with the certified results. 5 justices agreed to do the latter.

When the full picture is looked at objectively, this was arguably the greatest travesty of justice in the 20th century, and equivalent in historical terms to the beginning of the fall of the Roman Republic.

This one statement alone proves that you are not looking at this objectively.
