I'd have been happy if the US Supreme Court didn't directly, and wihtout precedent, interfere with the Floridian state counting its own votes, that the US Supreme Court's ruling should have upheld the Florida Supreme Court which had ordered a resumption of the counting of votes. I was willing to accept Bush's presidency if I felt what happened in Florida and Washington was fair. It wasn't. This meant that Bush, because he had the stacked deck on the US Supreme Court--in no small part due to the influence of his father who had 12 years of experience at the top of executive government--won because of Washington, and not because of Florida. In my view, Bush is an illegitmate president and one not elected by the will of the people. I further believe that had our country not been living in the aftermath of 9/11, the war on Afghanastan and now the Iraq war, that this issue would eventually have taken a greater hold. But! How can anyone, outside of an intellectual or an historian, question the legitimacy of a president whose constantly in or on the verge of internatioal warfare?
