2000 – The United States Supreme Court releases its decision in Bush v. Gore.

December 12, 2000, a date that will live in infamy

I know; Roosevelt said "which," not "that."

The Supreme Court delivered its decision in Bush v. Gore on this day in 2000, declaring that Bush would occupy the White House for the next eight years.

Also, if you own an Oldsmobile, you know that it was on the same day that General Motors announced that it would be stopping production of Oldsmobiles.

3. You described it quite well,

The brother of W. stops the vote count because Gore is about to overtake Bush. So instead of the people selecting our president the Supreme Court picks our president. Unbelievable, but it happened.

6. The day I lost all respect for the SCOTUS.

7. One of the saddest days in my life

Heard it on the radio when I was in the parking lot at WalMart.

9. It took 4 November 1980 for us to get to 12 December 2000.

Raygun started the downward spiral.
