The case that ended Florida ballot recounts in the disputed 2000 presidential election was also a 5-4 vote, but it stripped a state of power to administer its own laws, the former first lady said.

No, dammit!!!

Hillary and her media handmaidens are lying, once again, in service of the liberal agenda.

The vote that "stripped a state of power to administer its laws" was, in fact, 7-2! That was the vote that decided the Florida State Supreme Court had made a hash of it.

The 5-4 vote was on whether to call a halt to the entire affair or let the Florida State Supreme Court have another go at it.

Why is it that the media always gets this wrong...???

To help the RATs spread the Big Lie the it was a 'close 5-4 vote' that according to the, 'made Bush President'!

Even though subsequent media recounts showed that Bush won under every conceivable form of recounting!

They also conveniently forget that the Fla Supreme Court overturned, without justification, a lower court decision (Judge Sauls, Democrat). The Fla Supreme Court wasn't "administering its laws", it was making up laws as it went. The only ones out of step were the Fla Supreme Court.

This is the same media that likes to point out that Albert Gore Junior, son of the also ran presidential contender Albert Gore, "won the popular vote". This same media that likes to brag that "Algore had a MANDATE (man date?)" that chooses to ignore that the difference between the top two candidates (Albert and George) was less than 0.51% (that is barely 1/2 of 1 percent); a negligible value well within the margin of error for tallies (factoring in fraud and ignored absentee ballots that would not have affected the electoral vote).
