They said all votes don't have to be counted. Gore was probably going to win.

The irony is that SDO sided with the majority to stop the vote count. Her real legacy, other than being the first woman on the court, was that she sided with the majority in Casey to uphold Roe.

But really if Al Gore had embraced the record of Bill Clinton and let him campaign, he would have won.

I'm full of blame. My wife and daughter are pissed (I am too). But this is personal for them. They want to know how we got to this point. But I guess it goes back further when people decided they would vote against their best interest for anti-abortion candidates.
