Funny how you're willing to defend right-wing agendas not matter what!

Like in the Florida election debacle? I agree!

Not exactly. The words "equal protection" (on which, if I recall, the
decision was based) do at least appear in the Constitution. In a larger
sense, yes. The decision to take the case was an outgrowth of the same
kind
of judicial activism that led the Court to invent new "rights" in areas
the
founders intended to be dealt with by the political, rather than the
judicial, process. Funny how in liberal circles judicial activism is
celebrated only when the decisions go their way, how expediency trumps
principle.
