Grrrrrrrrrr: Scalia Rewrites History - Claims 5-4 Bush v Gore Decision - ‘Wasn’t Even Close'

[Samantha]

66. The very first legal filing in a Florida court was filed by the Republicans

They had tried to goad Gore into seeking relief from the courts, but Gore refused to throw out the first ball in that court because he knew the American people would never accept the election as legitimate if it were determined by the courts as opposed to the literal votes. Any winner of such contest would be considered "illegitimate" in the eyes of those disenfranchised. Jim Baker planned from the beginning to get this issue to the Supreme Court and taunted the Gore campaign to be the first to move. When it did not, the Republicans were forced to do so. Baker knew if he could just get the issue to the Supreme Court, odds were it would decide in favor of the Republicans.

And so to Scalia, here is my message. 51 million Americans WILL NEVER simply forget what happened in Election 2000. That is exactly how many American votes were nullified by the Supreme Court's appalling decision. For additional information, see Justice Stevens scathing dissenting opinion, and keep in mind as you read it, he is a Republican.

Some of us will continue to refute the misinformation that continues to be spread to this day about that theft. And YOU need to GET OVER that.
