>>The biggest problem with their ruling is including those 300-400 votes that were not counted according the standards established by the FL Legislature. The conflict with their ruling is they ordered the ballots counted by those FL Legislature standards. I smell another appeal to the US Supremes over this.

Not to mention what the real Bush lead is. The US Supreme Court vacated the first FL USSC fuling, so that technically put the count back at 930 until the FL USSC responds back to the USSC, but I hear the pundits are subtracting the 300+ votes from the 500+ lead.
