Words have meanings. Mitchell was incorrect. SCOTUS prevented the Florida Supreme Court from changing the rules of the election after it was over. Bush won every count including the one done after the election by the media consortium. Mitchell is perpetuating the myth that SCOTUS prevented Gore from winning the election using the oft repeated Dem contention that Gore had more votes than Bush. It simply isn't true. I am surprised that even some Freepers buy into this nonsense.
Please read my post again. It was not my contention that Gore got more votes than Bush. It WAS my contention that, had the SCOFLA decision been allowed to stand, Gore would have ended up the winner. (Because enough votes for him would have been "found" by eager vote counters.)
