Only as funny as it is sad that people like yourself just can't let the 2000 election go and feel the need to make out the court's decision as some great disaster in American history based on nothing more than your political views and beliefs. You ignore the facts of the case and try to use moral and emotional equivocations as smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that every suggested remedy was unconstitutional. But what's the Constitution when politics is on the line right?
Calling the actions of the US Supreme Court "activist' is also another classic example of ignoring the fact they were simply overturning actual unconstitutional activism by the Florida Supreme Court. You don't get to call striking down "activist" decisions by the Florida SC as somehow activist itself.
I haven't swept anything under the carpet. I explained the court's decision to you but you're happier making some kind of doom and gloom end-of-democracy Nostradamus event out of it. It's been 8 years Harlan. Where's the black cloud of death over the court?
It's time to let it go Harlan. Gore lost, and nothing the Florida Supreme Court attempted to do after the fact, and in blatant disregard of the Constitution, could help him.
