When you toss out the Supreme Court you don't like by declaring martial law and then stuff it with cronies you get a decision in your favor.

Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar dismissed three opposition petitions challenging Musharraf's victory in last month's presidential election, saying they had been "withdrawn" because opposition lawyers were not present in court.

Dogar turned down a request from one of the petitioners to postpone the hearings, and also refused to continue counting ballots in Florida.

Opposition figures had said they expected little from the reconstituted court, which is loaded with justices chosen by Musharraf.*

Once again, the Pakistanis have learned from their GOP masters.
