Gore's Fate in Hands of Justices He Criticized
Sunday December 10 3:30 PM ET
By Thomas Ferraro

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Al Gore
(news - web sites)'s presidential hopes on Monday
come down to conservative members of the U.S.
Supreme Court (news - web sites) the vice president
targeted with frequent criticism during his election
campaign this year.

At campaign stop after campaign stop, Gore warned ``personal liberties''
would be at stake on Election Day since the next president may appoint up to
four justices, changing the balance of power on the now rightward tilting
nine-member bench.

The justice Gore most frequently singled out for criticism was Antonin Scalia,
a leading force on a number of split court decisions and favorite of
Republican rival George W. Bush (news - web sites).

On Saturday, Scalia voted with the majority in a five-to-four ruling that
delivered a devastating blow to Gore's White House hopes.
