Scalia Rewrites History, Claims 5-4 Bush v. Gore Decision ‘Wasn’t Even Close’

The decision that Bush was right WAS 7 - 2. The only revision is claiming otherwise, the only 5- 4 was on how to handle the recount after the decision was made it was currently being handled wrongly.

Geeze do you guys lie much or what?

It was reported in 2000 as 5 to 4, and that is how has been, is, and will be taught in high school and college classes.

I will send your comment to several of my teacher and instructor friends for how the reactionary right tries to rewrite history

Folks like you are continuing to do your best to minimize the Republican Party.

During a speech at Wesleyan University last night, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia offered a strange revision of the time he joined with four of his conservative colleagues to make George W. Bush president:

At the end of the speech, Scalia took questions from the audience. One person asked about the Bush-Gore case, where the Supreme Court had to determine the winner of the election.

“Get over it,” Scalia said of the controversy surrounding it, to laughter from the audience.“

Scalia reminded the audience it was Gore who took the election to court, and the election was going to be decided in a court anyway—either the Florida Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court.

It was a long time ago, people forget…It was a 7-2 decision. It wasn’t even close,” he said.​

Bush v. Gore was not a 7-2 decision — and indeed, Scalia could tell this is true by counting all four of the dissenting opinions in that case. Although it is true that the four dissenters divided on how the Florida recount should proceed — two believed there should be a statewide recount of all Florida voters while two others believed a narrower recount would be acceptable — not one of the Court’s four moderates agreed with Scalia that the winner of the 2000 presidential election should effectively be chosen by five most conservative members of the Supreme Court of the United States.

scalia is an evil man.
 
So what if Soros called Gore - but do you have any "credible" proof that he did?

Who cares? the Supreme Court became involved because the Florida Supreme Court by a 5 to 2 decision violated Federal law on the recounts.

The Supreme Court Ruled 7 to 2... I REPEAT 7 to 2. That the recount must stop and that the ruling the Florida Supreme Court made was wrong. By this time it was to late to let the Florida Courts make a corrected ruling and the illegal recount was stopped by a 5-4 decision.

Pure bullshit.

Both of you are mere reactionaries, not conservative historically in any sense. This is not a liberal or conservative problem at all.

Four of the justices thought the Florida position could be remedied without rejecting it. Five justices did not. Breyer and Souther joined the majority in thinking a 14th Amendment problem existed as well with how counties voted. That is the way it is. Look it up, guys.

Bush was easier to push into fabricated wars so he had to win. Big money was at stake.
 
The truth is, is that it wasn't even close. Oh yes there are those who will scream that the court should have spoke as one, in unison. That a 5-4 vote proves positive that the vote was political. Indeed they may be correct for those on the losing end. The liberal left will never admit that those four would NEVER vote with the majority. There were 5 sane judges who it was never close in voting with the minority. Why would they? They were right. Gore had already called Bush and congratulated him on his victory. Most of the major news outlets that recounted the votes said Bush would have won. Some who counted every questionable vote for Gore think otherwise but how freakin' long were we to drag out the damn thing? The only answer to the liberals would be until Gore won. And don't forget, the Supreme court that went outside the law was the democrat controlled Florida SC. Also it might be noted that the lawyer for Gore LIED before the Florida SC. Had he not then the case would have ended that day, instead the Democrats dragged us through the mud of their political motivated attack.

As the liberals like to say today, you lost get over it.

Here is the lawyer's lies:

David Bxxx (Gore lead attorney):
Stated to the Florida Supreme Court that dimpled chads had been counted as votes in a case upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court.

Turns out that statement was totally false, as was the affidavit Bxxx had the lawyer in that case sign. However, Bxxx still managed to walk on water in the eyes of the media.

David Bxxx and Florida Supreme Court:
The Court asked Bxxx how many votes Gore had picked up in the Palm Beach hand recount. Bxxx said 215. The Court then order 215 to be deducted from Bush's margin.

There was only one problem here. According to the Democratic Election Supervisor Theresa LePore, Gore only picked up 174. Despite this inconvenient fact, the news media used the 215 figure in their new calculations until the U.S. Supreme Court halted the recount. How scary is it that the vote OFFICIAL vote total was, at least temporarily, wrongly determined by a LAWYER?!

No, it was not: the holding was 5 to 4, with various majority and minority reports.

I will send your latest boo boo along.

Once the 7-2 EP decision came down, there was no legal or constitutional means to continue the recount, as every possible remedy would run afoul of one, the other, or both.

Liberals, of course, don't care about the law or the constitutuion, so they disagree.
 
Every time Frank fudges the truth, he is caught and exposed.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5–4 decision, stated that the Supreme Court of Florida had violated the U.S. Constitution when it ordered the recount only in certain districts, and that the recount had already been tainted by shifting methods of vote-counting. Both of these, it said, violated the equal-protection guarantees of the Fourteenth Amendment. The court then said that there was no way to hold an acceptable recount by the final election deadline. As a result, it ordered the recounts abandoned, effectively naming Bush the winner of the national election. By the time of the decision, a month had passed since the nation had cast its ballots. http://www.phschool.com/curriculum_support/interactive_constitution/scc/scc43.htm
 
The delusion is only on the far right: the legal decision was 5 to 4 and is taught that way in HSs and colleges.
