It is a sad thing that an organization bearing the name of the "American Constitution Society" would invite such a corrupt, political bigot to speak, and welcome such comments.

For starters, seven justices of the Court agreed that what the Florida Supreme Court did was unconstitutional. Subtract 7 from 9 and that makes the substantive vote 7-2. The 5-4 number which the lamestream media print as true was the vote on the REMEDY, not on UNCONSTITUTIONALITY.

This was NOT a "state's rights" case. The Constitution gives the right to refine the election of Presidential Electors to the "legislature," not to the "state." All that the US Supreme Court said was that the Florida court had to obey FLORIDA law. Since it sought to rewrite the Florida law, written under authority from the US Constitution, that was that.

I have a feeling that many of the legal "scholars" in the audience were too dumb to understand this distinction. I'm certain that most FReeepers will understand it.

P.S. I filed one of the 14 briefs in Bush v. Palm Beach Canvassing Board.

Hillary's trolling for votes from the uninformed w/this erroneous statement. I remember at that horrible time that she also called for eliminating the electoral college. She had her finger to the wind on that one too.
