Antonin Scalia can go straight to HELL. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Bullshit, bullshit, and more bullshit.

The conservative majority in the SCOTUS should have erred on the side of states' rights and been non-activist. That's what they normally do. The Feds had no right to intervene in this at all. This was a matter of Florida election law, and the Florida Supreme Court tried to settle the case. The SCOTUS acted politically to insert itself in an issue that should have been settled by a state, not the federal government.

Also, most reports show that Gore won Florida, not the other way around.

Shame on him.

That's a !00% correct. AL GORE won and is the real president. These liars will never admit the truth. How many conservative republicans have you ever known that ever admitted they were wrong or ever made a mistake???? I've known none, absolutely zero. They are so arrogant they actully believe their own lies and deceit. And it's sickening how long they have gotten away with this crap. When and where will it ever end??

Yes, you are both correct, Al Gore did in fact win Florida, thus winning the electoral and popular vote nationwide. Here is a link, please read full article to appreciate the truth.

Gore's Victory
By Robert Parry
November 12, 2001

So Al Gore was the choice of Florida’s voters -- whether one counts hanging chads or dimpled chads. That was the core finding of the eight news organizations that conducted a review of disputed Florida ballots. By any chad measure, Gore won.
Gore won even if one doesn’t count the 15,000-25,000 votes that USA Today estimated Gore lost because of illegally designed “butterfly ballots,” or the hundreds of predominantly African-American voters who were falsely identified by the state as felons and turned away from the polls.

Gore won even if there’s no adjustment for George W. Bush’s windfall of about 290 votes from improperly counted military absentee ballots where lax standards were applied to Republican counties and strict standards to Democratic ones, a violation of fairness reported earlier by the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Put differently, George W. Bush was not the choice of Florida’s voters anymore than he was the choice of the American people who cast a half million more ballots for Gore than Bush nationwide. [For more details on studies of the election, see Consortiumnews.com stories of May 12, June 2 and July 16.]

Almost every time I hear somebody say Gore lost the 2000 election, I give them a 5 or so minute history lesson. :lol:

More bull from the neo-cons.
How corrupt can they be?

Besides, the SC voted 5 to 4 to send it back to Florida.
then voted 7 to 2 that time ran out.


This shows what a stupid mistake it was to stop Bork, only to have Scalia get in unanimously. He was worse by far.

Shame on the 5. One has got his reward though, and may O'Connor twist and turn every single night the rest of her life

oops-obviously I messed those results up.

It was 7 to 2 to send BACK to Florida (where Gore would have won)
5 to 4 (Scalia,Thomas, OConnor, Kennedy and Rehnquist) to kill any recount chance by saying ha ha ha the clock ran out.

It wouldn't have bothered me if it went on for months if it would have prevented the theft of the election that was handed to the lying thief, George W. Bush.

In a related story, a piece of marble fell off of the Supreme Court building today, me thinks this from the negative karma and bullshit spouted from Scalia recently. Maybe the building is sick due to the injustice hoisted on to the American People from the judicial coup of 2000.
