Who can tell me what happened following the 2000 U.S. Presidential election?

Gore lost Florida so he sued for a recount. They recounted the votes and Gore lost again. He sued again. They started recounting the votes but the Supreme court said enough is enough. Then liberals blamed Bush of stealing the election and using the Supreme court to do it, even though it was Gore, not Bush, that decided to involve the courts.

Five Republicans on the Supreme Court pretended that the US Constitution required them to grant Bush's request for an injunction to stop the Florida recounts.

"None are more conscious of the vital limits on judicial authority than are the members of this Court, and none stand more in admiration of the Constitution’s design to leave the selection of the President to the people, through their legislatures, and to the political sphere. When contending parties invoke the process of the courts, however, it becomes our unsought responsibility to resolve the federal and constitutional issues the judicial system has been forced to confront."

2000 Florida Recount Stopped By Scalia

January 25, 2007

• Bush v. Gore

Antonin Scalia is the fascist Justice who personally shut down the state-wide recount in Florida on December 10, 2000 when he issued an emergency injunction in Bush v. Gore saying an accurate recount would hurt George W. Bush. Scalia's unprecedented injuction created a furor among law school professors, and 673 signed a letter of outrage that was published in major newspapers. Two days later, Scalia was one of five partisan Republicans who threw out 175,000 never-counted Florida votes so they could declare George Bush the winner. When those votes were finally counted, Gore won Florida under all 6 scenarios in which all of the votes were counted.

Like his appointee George Bush looking for WMD at the Radio/TV Correspondents Dinner, Scalia loves to joke about his worst crimes. Impeach Antonin Scalia!

Justices defend Florida recount decision

By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer

Wed Jan 24, 5:28 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Three of the five Supreme Court justices who handed the presidency to George W. Bush in 2000 say they had no choice but to intervene in the Florida recount.

Comments from Justice Anthony Kennedy and retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor are in a new book that was published this week. Justice Antonin Scalia made his remarks Tuesday at Iona College in New York.

Scalia, answering questions after a speech, also said that critics of the 5-4 ruling in Bush v. Gore need to move on six years after the electoral drama of December 2000, when it seemed the whole nation hung by a chad awaiting the outcome of the presidential election.

"It's water over the deck — get over it," Scalia said, drawing laughs from his audience. His remarks were reported in the Gannett Co.'s Journal-News.

The court's decision to halt the recount of Florida's disputed election results, thus giving Bush the state's electoral votes, has been heavily criticized as an example of the court overstepping its bounds and, worse, being driven by politics.

Rather than let the recount take place and leave state officials and possibly Congress to determine the outcome of the election, the court's five conservative justices decided to intervene.

They eventually overturned a ruling of the Florida Supreme Court and halted the recount of the state's disputed election results 36 days after the voting. The decision effectively gave Bush Florida's electoral votes — and the presidency — by 537 votes.

"A no-brainer! A state court deciding a federal constitutional issue about the presidential election? Of course you take the case," Kennedy told ABC News correspondent Jan Crawford Greenburg in her new book, "Supreme Conflict."

Kennedy said the justices didn't ask for the case to come their way. Then-Vice President

Al Gore's legal team involved the courts in the election by asking a state court to order a recount, Kennedy said.

Legal scholars and the four dissenting justices have said the Supreme Court should have declined to jump into the case in the first place.

In a decision made public on the evening of Dec. 12, 2000, the court said the recount violated the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause because Florida counties were allowed to set their own standard for determining whether to count a vote.

"Counting somebody else's dimpled chad and not counting my dimpled chad is not giving equal protection of the law," Scalia said at Iona. Justice

Clarence Thomas and the late Chief Justice

William Rehnquist, who died in 2005, also were part of the majority.

O'Connor said the Florida court was "off on a trip of its own."

She acknowledged, however, that the justices probably could have done a better job with the opinion if they hadn't been rushed.

Still, O'Connor said the outcome of the election would have been the same even if the court had not intervened.

She was referring to studies that suggest Bush would have won a recount limited to counties that Gore initially contested, although other studies said Gore might have prevailed in a statewide recount.

I remember all this stuff about CHADS - never heard the word before, never needed it since. I also remember Alistair cook comparing it with the 1876 election, which he said was resolved by a gentlemenly arrangement. I knew that arrangement involved handing the South back to the Southerners so Cook began to fall in my estimation.

9/11

There was a recession at the time. Bush lowered tax rates on everyone. The economy boomed.

Don't forget the Democrats concerted effort to invalidate the absentee ballots of our servicemen.

The left claims that it was stolen, but numourus independent studies have proven otherwise. You cant tell them that though
