Yeah, the bush v. Gore hypocricy rises again. For 30 years these jokes on the supreme court argued for states rights and then threw it out the window in bush v Gore when they denied the Florida's right to count the frickin votes.

The Montana case is clearly the state's right but instead of bush v. Gore, it's the Five court jesters v. America's democracy.
