The arguing isn't just going on in Washington- the legal maneuvering continues in Florida,
where just moments ago, the Florida Supreme Court rejected Al Gore's request for an immediate
recount of disputed votes.
Gore's lawyers believe a trial court judge is moving too slowly with their effort to get thousands of votes from Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties counted-.
They went to the state Supreme Court hoping to get that count started right away.
But a court spokesman today announced that the request has been turned down.

Nat Sound: U.S. Supreme Court Demonstrators
While Republicans and Democrats fought their battles in U.S. Supreme
court, the Florida Courts kept busy as well. A circuit court has
scheduled a hearing Saturday on whether a million ballots from heavily
Democratic South Florida were properly reviewed. The Gore legal team is
hoping that a court ordered recount will turn up more Democratic votes.
Throughout the state, lawmakers are preparing to head to Tallahassee,
possibly to directly name electors in case the court challenges drag on
past the December 12th deadline. This week, a legislative commitee
recommended a special session to do just that.

The web sites to watch out for are PS-2 Store U-S-A dot com and PS-2 store Canada dot com.
Sony says neither site is an authorized Sony retailer.
