O.K. so the SCOTUS missed in this ruling but it is not like the court doesn't
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 09:45 AM by Botany
..... have precedent in fucked up rulings. See Bush v Gore
Where Scalia ruled that court would hear bush v Gore because that the counting of the vote in Florida would cause embarrassment to
Bush because the media already had said he had won the election. The court's final ruling that ordered the stopping of the counting of the
vote in Florida was so bad that Sandra O'Connell wrote that the case was not applicable to any past or future cases.

Yesterday's ruling is one more fuck over of the American people thanx to George W Bush because if he hadn't been installed
not only would we have had no 9/11, Iraq war, Afghanistan war, poor response to Katrina, Haliburton, spying, torture, and
both Roberts & Allito would never have been picked for the SCOTUS by a President Al Gore.



Rehnquist, O'Connor, Scalia, Kennedy, and Thomas :puke:

6. I don't know about anybody else, but I would like to hear what Sandra Day O'Conner has to say
about this ruling. I would be very curious.

7. she owns it .... nothing more and nothing less
Much like she owns 9/11 & the Iraq war. I read something about 1/2 a year ago she is
worried about her place in history as per bush v Gore. My thoughts were don't worry
Sandy your career will be defined by your vote in that case. Much like most people only
remember John Wilkes Booth for one thing.
