(55,981 posts)She knew that the actions of the SCOTUS that she supported were not legal per the Constitution. But who was going to challenge them? Not the hapless Democrats that one could consider as complicit. No challenge from Gore. It's like it was a tennis match and the line judge made a mistake. Oh well, good game anywayz old chap. Fuck the masses.
Some like to blame Ralph Nader for the Bush/Cheney years. But what Ralph did was perfectly legal. What Sandra did was immoral and illegal. She is a smart lady and I assume has a conscience. She will regret her actions. I know it does no good for me to wish her ill will, but I do.
It's a shame that her actions giving Bush or Cheney the presidency will long stand to tarnish her record.
I also hold Al Gore accountable for not challenging this action. It was a Constitutional crisis but he and the Democrats were too cowardly to fight for our democracy.
The Revolution is waiting.
