Linda Wertheimer and Robert Siegel bring us excerpts from the 90 minutes of oral arguments made before the Supreme Court of the United States this morning. Attorneys for George W.

Attorneys for Gore defended the Florida court's decision, and argued it's an issue that does not belong in federal court.
