"The Congress could have and would have restored what Gore took away, had they not been pre-empted by the Court's foolish decision to rule on a political question."
How in the world do you consider Gore and the Florida Supreme Court decisions overriding Florida's Election LAWS in the MIDDLE OF AN ELECTION a "POLITICAL" question????? Gore was violating the Florida Election Laws with his lawyers and the Florida Supreme Court was changing Florida Election Law, which is not their job. It's the Florida Legislature which writes or changes law, and not in the middle of an eleciton count. POLITICAL?????
Not to mention how very long righting that Fla supreme court would have taken. And not to forget, we were less than ayear away from a terrorist attack.
I shudder to think of what might have happened had that public travesty gone forward. It would have torn this country to bits.
Lookiing back, I am still in shock at that election. Nixon, who refused to contest his loss to Kennedy, did the right thing in my mind.
Gore is beyond contempt, beyond the pale. I cannot think of any better way to describe that most unmanly of men. Unmanly is the best advective I can think of for him.
What is an election BUT a political question?
The XII Amendment clearly outlines how to resolve disputes of this type, and it does not mention any court.
