Good Morning, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
The U-S Supreme Court is taking a second--and perhaps last-- look at the ongoing Presidential election.
George W- Bush is asking the high court to overturn Florida's state supreme court decision calling for recounts of disputed ballots.
Meanwhile, people are camped outside the U-S Supreme Court, braving the cold weather.
They're hoping to get a seat for today's oral arguments.
Jennifer Jones has an update for us now from Washington, DCTERMS.

It may be cold in Washington this morning, but that hasn't stopped a
large crowd from gathering outside the U-S Supreme Court. They hope to
get a seat to history as the nation's nine highest justices once again
weigh in on the presidential election.
MOS SOT:
"To be here and see this monumental experience is just great."
At issue today: the hand recounts in Florida. On Saturday, in a split
decision, the U-S Supreme Court ordered the recounts halted. This move
came one day after the Florida Supreme Court ruled they should resume
immediately.
SOT: James Baker/Bush Campaign Advisor
"The issue really is whether or not we are in the process of counting
legal votes, whether the counting process is legal whether the rules
have been changed after the game has been played."
SOT: David Boies/Gore Attorney
"I think the American people have a right to know what votes were cast
and for whom."
Locator: Tallahassee, FL
Also today, the Republican controlled Florida legislature meets. They'll
debate whether to give the state's 25 electoral votes to Texas Governor
George W. Bush.
Republican law-makers claim with tomorrow's deadline looming for
certifying the electors, they have no choice but to act. However
Democrats believe the outcome of the vote should determine which
electors go to Washington.
Meanwhile, the two men who hope to be President are keeping a low
profile. On Sunday, Bush returned to Austin after spending the weekend
at his ranch. And Vice President Al Gore attended church services with
his family.
