Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman U.S. Supreme Court justice, is expressing doubts over the court’s historic involvement in the 2000 presidential election.
Just maybe, O’Connor said over the weekend, the high court should have stayed out of the 2000 election.
“Maybe the court should have said, ‘We’re not going to take it, goodbye,’” O’Connor told the Chicago Tribune editorial board in reference to the controversial Bush v. Gore decision. “It turned out the election authorities in Florida hadn’t done a real good job there and kind of messed it up. And probably the Supreme Court added to the problem at the end of the day.”
It’s not the first time O’Connor has expressed doubt about siding with the majority in the 5-4 decision. In a 2010 interview, she said she didn’t know if it was right. But, she added, she didn’t worry about it because several recounts found that Bush would have won the state regardless.
