Scalia says he is often challenged on that decision and usually tells people to 'get over it'!

I don't think so. He also has rewritten history claiming it was Gore V Bush rather Bush V Gore. He gets a bit testy when anyone asks him about that decision. I wonder why.

As much as I blame the SCOTUS, I feel the American people have to share the blame. This was an egregious violation of the Constitution and the nation didnt give a crap.

And they still dont give a crap. Roughly 140 million or approx 68% of eligible voters didnt vote for Pres Obama. And he is conservative. I have a hard time being optimistic.
