RECOUNT Continued from Page 1 certified the victor by 537 votes out of 6 million cast, talked to his legal team from Texas and said the lawyers were cautiously optimistic. "If they are, I am," he said. Gore was at his official residence in Washington, while three of his chil- dren - Karenna, Kristin and Albert III -attended the session. Chief Justice William Rehnquist gaveled the session open: "We'll hear argument now in number 00949, George W Bush and Richard Chenet v. Albert Goreet al." And off they went. "Where's the federal question here?" Justice Anthony Kennedy asked Bush attorney Theodore Olson less than two minutes into arguments over the Gore- sought recounts ordered by the Florida Supreme Court on Friday. In a 5-4 deci- sion on Saturday, the U.S. Supreme Court halted the counting. Justice David Souter, who voted against the Saturday stay, seemed to ponder the ground rules for a possi- ble resumption of the recount. "Why shouldn't there be one subjective rule for all counties?" he asked. Some justices who made up Satur- day's majority seemed skeptics) oa' recount, under any standard. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor warned of a "big red flag" in election law that seemingly requires courts to defer to the legislative branch. With Republicans controlling the Florida Legislature and Congress, Bush'slegal team has raised the same issue. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who along with O'Connor is a frequent high court swing vote and sided with the majority on Saturday, asked point- ed questions about standards that county election boards use in Florida to determine voters' intent on ques- tionable ballots. "I think it can vary from individual to individual," said Gore lawyer David Boies. Kennedy sounded skeptical about recount standards that would vary from "table to table and county to county." Afterward. Gore's legal advisers- putting the arguments in the best-pos- sible light - said Kennedy might have been fishing for a way to conduet recounts legally.

Many were vet- erans of the earlier high-volume rally when the court met on this case Dec. 1. Butmost were a little battle-weary, carrying dog-eared signs and shouting in increasingly hoarse voices. As Cas- cio, now practically a professional protester, put it: "We're near the exhaustion point.: Even so, neither side sounded ready to quit. "The trouble is, the Republicans have a lot of bull- horns, so you have to pretty much get close to them and yell in their face," said Ben Dixon, a Washington lawyer, raising his voice as Gore forces behind him chanted, "GWB! GWB! How many votes can you steal from me!" Fewer converged on the Supreme Court yesterday than the last time the election came to the justices, when throngs spilled across the street and jammed the Capitol grounds. Anticipating the weariness of the rank-and-file, activists worked to mobilize the faithful and build a crowd. Registered Democrats in Washington received recorded phone messages at their homes urging them to demon- strate. And interest groups sounded the alert.
