Ahem, how exactly did Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy become
"friends" George W. Bush? (I'm not aware any friendship between
Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas and GWB - but I suppose its possible, and in
those cases you could at least imagine an ideological affinity.)
Additionally, how exactly did the actions of the USSC impact the eventual
outcome of the 2000 Presidential election?
Lastly, if Al Gore had won the 2000 election, would you be bitterly
complaining that he did so thanks to his partisans on the Florida Supreme
Court?
