(11,464 posts)IF Nader were NOT in the race, there would NOT have been an after election day problem.
end of story.
timeline.
12/12/2000 only occured because of Nader in the first place.
Otherwise 2000 would have been decided election day
And the court showed Nader to be a liar. GORE WOULD NOT HAVE PICKED SCALIA, THOMAS, ALITO OR ROBERTS.
Had Gore picked the justices the rightwing presidents picked, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN THE CASE AND LET FLORIDA DECIDE...
Do you remember there were 2 rulings on 12/12/2000?
the first 5 to 4 said go back to florida for the final decision
the controversial one was 7 to 2- saying fuck you America, time is up. Go to hell.
But that would have been irrelevant HAD RALPH NADER NOT BEEN IN THE RACE AND CAUSE AL GORE TO LOSE NEW HAMPSHIRE AND FLORIDA.
It's the timeline you are forgetting about.
