Did you hear that line from Scalia's interview re Bush v. Gore?

[Samantha]

Scalia's words paraphrased: "It was Al Gore who brought this into the courts. I want this decided by the courts," Al Gore said.

These are the paraphrased words of Scalia that were just played on MSNBC!

I almost fell off my chair. The Bush* campaign filed the first legal court document in this struggle. It chronically baited Gore to do so. Gore did not take the bait. He knew if the eventual winner was decided by the courts, that winner would not be considered as "legitimate" by the voting public. And right Al Gore was about that decision, and thus he did not take the bait.

Because Al Gore showed such excellent judgment in that decision, the Bush* campaign had no alternative if it wanted to prevail than to go to court. And so it did. And thus it began.

Scalia was one of the infamous 5 Supreme Court judges who stopped the recount. He also signed that infamous final decision essentially giving Bush* the election.

My question is this: WHY IN THE HELL DID A SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE ENTIRE PROCEEDING FAIL TO REMEMBER IT CORRECTLY IN THIS INTERVIEW when mere posters at liberal websites can?

Unbelievable! (sorry it this is a dupe -- I am so upset at hearing that misrepresentation I can't quit trembling long enough to check)
