O'Connor rethinks Bush v Gore decision

[OriginalShroom]

It is not that Democrats are any better than Republicans; they are both equally bad. It was just not in the domain of the S.C. to decide things.

When the State Supreme Courts fouls things up as badly as Florida's did that year, violating laws and the Constitution, the SCotUS had no choice but to step in.

another opinion masquerading as fact.

You are pathetically in error here

If only you had a clue... But as usual, you don't.

Election 2000 Timeline

2000 Post-Election Timeline of Events

Nov. 9:
An incomplete count puts Bush's lead at 1,784 votes. Because of the narrow margin, a mandatory machine recount is ordered in all 67 counties.

Nov. 10:
The machine recount is completed in all but one county. Bush's lead is 327. Democrats request a manual recount in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Volusia counties, where ballots are in dispute.

Nov. 11:
Palm Beach County announces that it will manually recount all 462,657 ballots cast there. Bush sues in U.S. District Court in Miami to bar manual counting

November 13: Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris says she will not extend a deadline of 5 p.m. EST on November 14 for receiving all state election results except for absentee ballots coming from overseas. Gore's team promises a legal challenge. A federal judge turns down the Bush team's attempt to stop manual recounts.

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

State Courts? The Bush team went to federal courts which ruled against Bush

it gets complicated. as usual, right and left wingers have difficulty sorting facts from bullshit

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

You folks really need to get over this and move on already. You complain about Republicans being sore over the 2012 election and you're all still butt hurt over one 13 years ago.

 

[Truthmatters]

crimes against democracy will NEVER be forgotten

 

[Katzndogz]

If the court had not stopped the recount, we'd still be recounting. As insane as Gore turned out to be, we dodged a bullet with that one.

 

[JimH52]

the dems will never get over the FACT that Bush beat their clowns twice. TWICE, TWICE, TWICE.


He (the cowboy from texas) kicked your asses twice, you can never change that, live with it.

TWICE LOL LOL LOL

Enjoy it Chump. It may be the last Presidency that the Party of Old White men wins for a while. W and his Neocons left the nation on the edge of ruin. Makes you Proud, huh?

The SCOTUS called the Bush gore legal dispute properly.

Gore lost Florida.

Damn.

It really is simple, no matter how much stupidity idiots like Dainty try to layer on top of it.

No the nation was not left on the edge of ruin.

But ruination is all Obama and the liberal Democrats are striving for.

You idiots.

We understand. You fuckwits don't much like America.

The recount was completed though and Bush STILL WON.

U.S. Recession Worst Since Great Depression, Revised Data Show - Bloomberg

Not only was Bush's recession the worse since the Great Depression, he left us with two unfunded wars. All the while giving a tax cut (during two wars) to the wealthy among us. The man was still recovering from alcoholism and should never have been in office. That coupled with the Great Puppeteer, DICK Chaney totally screwed this country over.

And there was not one Dem in the Fed government the whole time right?

What tax bracket received the largest tax percentage in cuts and what where they,judging by your predicable comments you don't know.

Ex-Supreme Court justice has second thoughts on Bush v. Gore - First Read

Two wars, thousands of lives, and Trillions of Dollars later.....Thanks

Idiot.

Read the article you link to.

The vote was 7-2, not 5-4 and she didn't say she'd vote for that Al JAzeera supporter Gore, she said they shouldn't have taken the case at all

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Justice O’Connor had no way of knowing the Bush presidency would be an unmitigated disaster resulting in two illegal, failed wars with thousands of Americans dead, as well as many more thousands with life-long injuries and disabilities.

You mean this "MAN MADE" scam.

Thank me.

Another Media Matters scoop? Too bad the media never interviewed the FDR appointee to the Supreme Court, former KKK member Hugo Black, about his opinion about the modern version of "separation of church and state" that doesn't appear in the Constitution or the Supreme Court that found a concept of "privacy" that didn't appear in the Constitution that they used to legalize infanticide.
