Stirring up trouble as usual. Instead of adding to the debate by contributing you are playing agitator over the Florida recount. I am putting up with zero BS from you anywhere.
I am close to going back to where we were a few weeks ago.
Scott L had absolutely nothing at all to do with it.

I honest to god don't understand what I did. My posts had absolutely nothing to do with the Florida recount. FWIW, I come out on Doc's side of the issue, but he's flat-out wrong with what he says. I said nothing inflammatory at all, just wanted doc to answer a VERY simple question.
Bumping and making a mountain out of a molehill about this case with Doc Mercer.
Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), was a United States Supreme Court case decided on December 12, 2000. The case effectively resolved the 2000 presidential election in favor of George W. Bush. Only eight days earlier, the United States Supreme Court had unanimously decided the closely related case of Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board 531 U.S. 70 (2000) and only three days earlier, the United States Supreme Court had preliminarily halted the recount that was occurring in Florida.
In a per curiam opinion, by a vote of 7-2, the Court in Bush v. Gore held that the Florida Supreme Court's method for recounting ballots was unconstitutional, and by a vote of 5-4, held that no alternative method could be established within the time limits set by the State of Florida. The 7-2 portion of the per curiam opinion was decided based upon the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The critical 5-4 portion of the per curiam opinion involved the remedy for that Equal Protection violation. Three of the concurring justices also asserted that the Florida Supreme Court had violated Article II, § 1, cl. 2 of the Constitution, by misinterpreting Florida election law that had been enacted by the Florida Legislature.
The decision allowed Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris's previous certification of George W. Bush as the winner of Florida's electoral votes to stand. Florida's 25 electoral votes gave Bush, the Republican candidate, 271 electoral votes, defeating Democratic candidate Al Gore, who ended up with 266 electoral votes (with one D.C. elector abstaining). A majority (270) of the electoral votes are needed to win the Presidency or Vice Presidency in the Electoral College. The decision would turn out to be highly controversial.

It makes a difference because Doc's "news" story was predicated on the fact that Scalia lied because "Bush filed the lawsuit." To prove that, doc pointed to the name of the case which listed Bush as the petitioner, which is just the wrong thing to do. Am I supposed to just let him accuse a sitting justice of lying without any facts? Is that the debate we want in Politics?
Every single person that responded to the thread agreed with me, and doc never provided an answer to my questions. For someone who creates the maximum daily threads, I don't think it's too much to ask that he provide substantive posts while clogging the board.
Anyway, done with this, I'll hang with Pabst and TTP down here in the psycho ward.
