(1,163 posts)I saw the segment you're referring to. It was Lawrence's best A block ever. Powerful doesn't begin to describe it. All of the superlative words together couldn't describe it for me. It was outerworldly! Lawrence laid the blame where it really belongs which is with the Rehnquist 5 who stopped the legal Florida vote count in 2000, trampled the will of we the people and installed their preferred Presidential candidate bushthief who appointed Roberts and Alito. The Rehnquist 5 and bushthief clearly both now have blood on their hands. The only issue I would take with Lawrence's outerworldly monologue is that bushthief's claim that he had no litmus test for SCOTUS appointees was a lie, just like his "compassionate conservative" and claiming to want smaller government. bushthief knew exactly what he was doing when he appointed Roberts and Alito. I was thrilled to see Lawrence hold the Rehnquist 5 accountable for their ending of American democracy in 2000. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of the several hundred thousand legal votes from the most heavily democratic voting counties in Florida that now sit uncounted in the Florida archives. I also ache for we the people's choice for President in 2000 as I've done since 12/12/00. This must be hard on him too.
