Anybody notice how the republicans are rushing to meticulously count every possible hanging chad?
Where did that urgency for decisions go eh?
It went the same place as that SCOTUS decison that said everyone had to have the same right to be miscounted, but insisted it was a one-off, setting no precedent.
I recall with particular piquancy how they announced their decision a few hours before Florida was supposed to submit its electoral results--even though they had made their decision several days before--and argued there could be no recount because no time for it remained. I recall when the SCOTUS blocked a Florida recount because it might harm Bush. I think future historians will make much of those days, when major fractures appeared in the Republic.
I understand Rome had days like that.
You do know the GOP was planning both court action and media appeals to the Electoral College electors to change their votes in 2000 if Gore won the election but not the popular vote?
Of course, they changed their tune when it was Bush who took the college but not the popular vote.
RAZD, they are NOT nice people.
