Don’t worry, libs will never get over it.
Roe v. Wade was a seven to two decision, too. Should we get over that as well?
Not only that, but if the Florida Supreme Court had done their job according the Florida Law, it would have never gone to the SCOTUS
Scalia is great but I doubt Stahl understood what he was telling her.
Note to GWB: “This is how a man with a spine talks”
she was just diggin’ up the past. Nothing else to do.
WE didn’t have the judges THEN and we do NOW. Although they wont try to repeal it, I believe that IF is came up now it would not pass.
I think she reflects most of the Democrats mindset now. They cannot get over past losses, or that their agenda is horrible for the country.
I still get new articles from Democrats complaining about weapons of mass destruction and removal of Hussein in Iraq. They really are mentally disturbed, IMHO.
If I remember correctly, wasn’t it Bush campaign who first brought up the case to the court, not Gore? Hence Bush v. Gore?
Paul Begala STILL mentions the Supreme Court “appointing George Bush president” every chance he gets. He did it again on CNN Tuesday night. I know he is one guy who will never get over it!

The Florida controversy was a nonjusticeable political question, which could have and should have been decided by a joint session of Congress on January 3, 2001 as provided for by the Constitution.
WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE the Constitution specifies that the electoral votes are to be opened and counted in the presence of the full Senate and the full House? Because they have nothing better to do?
The founders knew very well that the process was fundamentally political, was subject to mischief, and provided a measured and appropriate political mechanism to deal with problems.
The last time this happened, in 1877, no one, least of all the Supreme Court, would have imagined a role for the courts in the process.
It is a measure of the degradation of republican values that no one gave running to the courts in 2001 a second thought.
HUH !?
One ruling was Constitutional, so that makes it easy to ‘get over it’. The other ruling was unConstitutional unless one comes up with mumbo-jumbo like penumbras of the Bill of Rights to manufacture an inherent right to privacy.
They’d rather hang onto the past than to move into a brighter future. But, that’s what their party is based upon. Gloom and doom. Dark outlooks. So that they can tell the people just like the witch is doing now that they will FIGHT for them. What in the hell is there to FIGHT for? They are sooooooooooo old hat. Their politics are that of the older, staler, 60’s generations that can’t think for themselves. Not all mind you but...a lot. So, they are LED instead of being LEADERS and THINKING and DOING for themselves. They would rather have the Government do everything for them. Speaks volumes about them. I’d rather do with less and know I have what I have because of what I did to EARN it.
