In reply to the discussion: Grrrrrrrrrr: Scalia Rewrites History - Claims 5-4 Bush v Gore Decision - ‘Wasn’t Even Close' [View all]YOHABLO
(7,358 posts)58. Hold Scalia Accountable
Hold Scalia Accountable for his remarks. We can't allow the media to let this go. He's was an incredible liar. If Gore were there during 9/11 I can't imagine how much better he would have handled it. However it would have to have been better than the lies the Bush Adm. told us ... and still no one has been indicted. So we can never forget what went down in Florida ever.

It doesn't matter, the point is the SC does not get to decide elections regardless.
