In reply to the discussion: After Casting Key Fifth Vote For Bush, Justice O’Connor Now Regrets Bush v. Gore [View all]PATRICK
(12,228 posts)to quickly get Bush in. I believe it was poised, granted a Gore "squeaker" on recovering a fraction of his plurality(part of the stolen votes, not the recognized victory) to make the electoral tipping point in Florida.
Florida had already certified and chosen an electoral slate. The Congress was GOP and poised to give Bush the "win". At best, given no support at all by the media and lukewarm by his own party leadership, Gore might have made some of own case to SCOTUS on perhaps some more crucial, mindbending Constitutional issues. It was easier for SCOTUS to head that off with a quick and dirty beheading of a quick and dirty election.
As if frustrated in its destiny to quaff the full cup of shame in sealing a stolen election for Bush, Congress has been working non stop to earn its own place of ignonimy.
Old hacks with a sudden stroke of limited conscience are beyond disgusting and are uniformly impotent to do good much less repair any of the harm caused by their criminal actions. The scale of their responsibility precludes this pitiful display from being anything other than a media charade that is taken seriously only by an equally treacherous and shamed MSM. In America only the celebrity elite are forgiven, take it for granted and parade their "suffering" in front of their victims. Even with gossipy bonhomme humor thrown in.
