I loved Scalia's comment to the effect that he supported stopping the counting of the votes because it would damage the legitimacy of Bush's presidency. As far as I'm concerned, that's a confession.
In Salon (I think) some guy Saturday predicted that this would be the angle of the SC if they wanted to support Bush without looking like they were.
As I understand it, the SC has halted Gore, but has the propaganda line that they aren't supporting either side, just accepting an appeal.
At this point, Gore is really short on time, and the clock is running out.
