The Supremes won't and neither will Congress.

The one alternative, though, is that the GOP-controlled state legislature will override any decision of the Florida Supreme Court and will appoint their own set of electors, a possibility seemingly provided for in federal law covering the electoral college. That will deliver the Presidency to Bush, but all partisan hell will break out in Florida and nationally.
