There are now three members of Bush's 2000 FL recount legal team on the Supreme Court.

Along with Bush v. Gore majority voter Clarence Thomas of course.

I'm mentioning this because it just might be relevant to why Senate Republicans didn't wait until after the election to confirm Barrett, during the congressional recess.

2. Clarence Thomas

Barrett and Roberts played legal roles.
Barrett was on Bush's legal team, and Roberts coached the team about how to argue before the court. Bush later rewarded him by making him Chief Justice.

Notice the photo of Barrett, Trump and Thomas today? Creepy.

7. That phuc king decision keeps coming back up like a bad drink at a new years party

Maybe we should revisit that decision and how it came about. It has without a doubt sent this country in the wrong direction with regard to voting and elections and who counts the votes and most specifically REPUBLICANS CHEATING !!!!

That 5-4 vote has sent us into endless war, debt and rule of the minority.
