The Sup. Ct's unprecedented intervention in the election set a very dangerous tone.

This remark underlies either a total misunderstanding of what happened OR an intentional disregard of the facts.

WHO was going to decide whether Gore would be permitted to steal the election? The FLA Supreme Court, who made a ruling at total odds with the law?

People who criticize the Court in the election really are on very weak ground; if not the Supreme Court, then WHO? If ever there was a time for the Supreme Court to have granted certiorari, this was it. And the FLA Supreme Court had already shown its inability to rule with integrity.

In spite of the fact that every recount showed Gore lost, liberals continue to suggest that the COURT made the decision. The VOTERS made the decision. EVERY CREDIBLE RECOUNT HAS SHOWN THAT BUSH WON THE ELECTION. Furthermore, it has been shown that by their actions (of calling the election for Gore prematurely), the liberal media cost Bush a large number of votes in the panhandle.

The VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY to steal the election from Bush was defeated, and would have been even without the Supreme Court. But I'm not sure what entity OTHER THAN the Supreme Court would have been in a position to make any required determinations.

I am really, really sick of people who don't have even the slightest comprehension of what happened in FLA making asinine statements about it.

However, I do think people are starting to object to this new American militarism in the less conservative parts
of the country.


Ted,

I pray that you are right and that it grow in peaceful but powerful ways.
