Antonin Scalia is the fascist Justice who personally shut down the state-wide recount in Florida on December 10, 2000 when he issued an emergency injunction in Bush v. Gore saying an accurate recount would hurt George W. Bush. Scalia's unprecedented injuction created a furor among law school professors, and 673 signed a letter of outrage that was published in major newspapers. Two days later, Scalia was one of five partisan Republicans who threw out 175,000 never-counted Florida votes so they could declare George Bush the winner. When those votes were finally counted, Gore won Florida under all 6 scenarios in which all of the votes were counted.

Like his appointee George Bush looking for WMD at the Radio/TV Correspondents Dinner, Scalia loves to joke about his worst crimes. Impeach Antonin Scalia!

:evilfrown:

once the USSC ruled by one-vote against him. Impeach Scalia? That would be nice, but I don't see anybody advocating this. If you're going to impeach Scalia then you have to impeach the other four (we'll O'Connor is already gone) who voted with him.

stated so starkly in an OP..if we had any kind of guts at all as a country we would have shut this Country like scalia shut down the voting process and made our displeasure known. Instead the corporatemediawhores helped the bushites via rove cover it up..oh, btw..fooking nyt.

Love those guys over at democrats.com..they just keep working and working for us all!

There was no state-wide recount.

need to investigate..Gore won and the fookin' nyt(among others) buried it.

In his official brief he requested several specific counties be recounted. And I hate to dispel the commonly held myth around here but he would not have won under the guidelines HE proposed. I would suggest you might want to do a little more investigation.

Florida Recounts Would Have Favored Bush
But Study Finds Gore Might Have Won Statewide Tally of All Uncounted Ballots

In all likelihood, George W. Bush still would have won Florida and the presidency last year if either of two limited recounts -- one requested by Al Gore, the other ordered by the Florida Supreme Court -- had been completed, according to a study commissioned by The Washington Post and other news organizations.

But if Gore had found a way to trigger a statewide recount of all disputed ballots, or if the courts had required it, the result likely would have been different. An examination of uncounted ballots throughout Florida found enough where voter intent was clear to give Gore the narrowest of margins.

MEDIA RECOUNT: BUSH WON THE 2000 ELECTION


In the first full study of Florida's ballots since the election ended, The Miami Herald and USA Today reported George W. Bush would have widened his 537-vote victory to a 1,665-vote margin if the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court would have been allowed to continue, using standards that would have allowed even faintly dimpled "undervotes" -- ballots the voter has noticeably indented but had not punched all the way through -- to be counted.

The study, conducted by the accounting firm of BDO Seidman, counted over 60,000 votes in Florida's 67 counties, tabulating separate vote totals in several standards categories.

While the USA Today report focused on what would have happened had the Florida Supreme Court-ordered recount not been halted by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Herald pointed to one scenario under which Gore could have scored a narrow victory -- a fresh recount in all counties using the most generous standards.

and then a great news article on april 15th 2001

Here's what Tom Fiedler of the Miami Herald acknowledged and quoted as the fundamental fact in the Herald's reporting of the recount: "f the recount had been started from scratch in each of Florida's 67 counties, The Herald concluded, 'Gore would be in the White House today.'" Published in the Miami Herald, Sunday, April 8, 2001. Click here to read the whole article, entitled, " Votes aren't sacred," by Tom Fiedler.

rehash this stuff enough OR bring it more up to date!

Bookmarking and Rec'd~

in covering it up...Most here pretend it never happened and are ready to throw their voyes again

ensued, I was accused of simply being ignorant on how politics work, they have since changed their minds, and I was very ignorant back then, more so then now concering politics but even I knew he should have fought it all the way but sadly not enough people backed him and he knew it which is why he threw in the towel.

After the supreme court decision, the next step would have been to start the revolution. There really was no other recourse.

is how they continue to trumpet about how they "won" and how GWB beat Gore and Kerry.

Every time someone parrots that lie, they grant legitimacy to the illegitimate and give more ammo to the "centerists" who want us to vote for republicans with D's after their names.

off the table, while I focus on my real agenda

He seems to have moved on from 2000.

I remember how Nixon believed that the 1960 election was stolen by the Daley/mob machine for Kennedy. Nixon spent the next few years building back his base and power and won what he thought was his rightful place in the White House in '68. Many think that his paranoia over the '60 election fueled the dirty tricks of the 72 campaign even though he seemed to have no chance of losing. The things he did to Muskie are legend, and of course he beat McGovern in a landside.

If Gore and Kerry were fighting back like Nixon I might give more thought to worrying about it. Meanwhile there are more important things to work on.
