>Doug - they didn't insert themselves. A case was brought before them (after being heard in a lower court), in which the Bush folks argued that the certification date should be upheld (and some other stuff) and the Gore folks argued that the right to recount took precedence. It is absolutely the role of a court to make determinations when two laws are in conflict, which is the case here.

Tamar,

Well, we'll just have to disagree then. All the news media I read said that they acted before they were asked to and from where I sit that's an insertion. I do understand that they were going to be asked anyway and all that but they did still act before being asked.
