If he spoke out against the Bush-Gore decision, he may be another Souter. Did he speak out against the 7-2 part, or the 4-3 part? (I.e. the wrong, or the remedy?) If he spoke out against the 4-3 part I don't really have a problem, because reasonable minds can differ about the appropriate remedy. But if he spoke out against the 7-2 part, he's a #$@)(^()%)& closet liberal.

Do we really need that?

My hunch is that he didn't like the courts getting involved at all. On that, I agree with him whole heartedly. He probably had a problem with the 5-4 part.

I'll need to do more research but if he simply didn't like arguing it on 14th Ammendment grounds then he'd simply be arguing from a more conservative position than anyone. I'd like to see his reasoning rather than the just his conclusion.

Personally I'm hoping for Luttig instead.
