61. I was watching.

I couldn't believe Boise didn't request the whole deal. After awhile one of the justices asked him if he wanted to. Who knows why.

I tend to think they knew what was to be from signals inside the courtroom.

Also, I was watching the Florida discussions and either the state senators or the electors had already decided they would give the state to W, no matter what happened.

The whole episode was disgusting. That said, this is different. This is so much evidence that can't be ignored. I think the brighter scenario is on track to play out.
