(11,464 posts)Scotus had nothing to do with NH WHICH HAPPENED ELECTION DAY.
Nader took Al Gore's 4 votes away.
Scotus on 12/12/2000 came later
and btw- the right would have said Al Gore stole THEIR election if reverse was true and Florida court called it for Gore, and save 9-11, either man was a one term do nothing president had that happened.
Which is why historically and for the love of the country, Gore did not continue a shadow government afterward.
One just figured he would easily defeat a do nothing Bush in 2004, but stupidly, he was tossed in the river after.
Thanks Ralph Nader-100% of the blame is YOU YOU YOU
scotus came later
Get the timeline straight please.
Election night happened PRIOR to Scotus ruling a month later.
and it was 5 scotus that proved Ralph Nader to be alying sack of traitorism because Al Gore would not have nominated the 5 that made the second ruling the night of infamy 12/12/2000
and would not later have picked Roberts, Alito and the crony he tried to pass off that ended up removing her name from consideration.
NADER,NADER,NADER 3 party caused 2000 to be close and have the judgement call later on.
BTW-remember too the first SCotus ruling 12/12/2000 was the correct one- 7 to 2 to go back to Florida.
It was pages in the ruling later that showed the 5 to 4 fuck you Gore by the 5
Also remember when saying Scotus-it was 5 of them,.NOT ALL OF THEM
4 remained true to the constitution.
Since then, one died a painful cancer death, one twists and turns at night knowing she did wrong (OConnor who was forced to retire by Bush shortly after so he could name Alito and Roberts) Scalia and Thomas and A.Kennedy.
The other four were heroes to America.
especially David Souter who spit in the Bush's faces many times over.
