Justice Antonin Scalia: Al Gore to blame for 2000 US election mess

By Toby Harnden in Washington

The 2000 presidential election debacle was the fault of Al Gore, who should have followed Richard Nixon's 1960 example and conceded without legal action, according to the Supreme Court's leading conservative judge

REALLY?

Found at Citizens For Legitimate Government. Here is a comment posted by the editor on that website:

In the *first* place, someone should tell this sociopath that the case is actually Bush v. Gore - *Bush* filed the legal action. Eight days earlier, the United States Supreme Court had decided the case of Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board. Again, the legal action was instigated by *Bush.* Moreover, George W. Bush had a fleet of lawyers poised to overturn the 2000 election if Al Gore had won the electoral vote but lost the popular vote - a fact the mainstream media whores buried. In the second place, the only fault of Gore was that he didn't call for the second American Revolution to overthrow the occupiers after the *first* coup d'etat. If Bush was prevented from stealing the presidency in 2000, the 9/11 attacks, Iraq invasion, countless war crimes and millions of environmental acts of terror would never have happened

FYI, you should tell the blogger you are religiously quoting that the order of party names in a civil appeal are based on which party appealed the lower court decision. If I recall correctly, Gore filed for a recount, which the Florida Supreme Court granted, and Bush appealed the decision; hence, Bush v. Gore. Of course, I might be remembering wrong--feel free to prove it with cut and paste

 

[MIMS]

Oh, the case filed in Florida for the recount was Gore v. Harris. Therefore, GORE filed the legal action. If you don't respond to this post, and instead run and hide, you're a joke.

Mims ...

who on this board would dare question someone with your "indepth"
knowledge on all issues?

Bush was the one who filed the law suits first

Doc Mercer Debate Tactic #2 - If you can't find the fact via a quick google search, maybe if you write it in bigger font it will make it true.

 

[MIMS]

Jesus, doc, you're pathetic. I'm tossing you a softball here that you can easily disprove. Just go ahead and find the name of the state court claim that Bush filed which led to the appeal before SCOTUS. I promise you it's out there; I'm going to make you use facts.

But you can't take the name of the petitioner (the first name in an appeal) and claim that it is always the person that filed the district court action. This is what you did here, and it's just plain wrong. For the benefit of our readers, you need to provide factual proof for your cut & paste

 

[MIMS]

While you're busy scouring the blogs looking for an answer, let me give you an example to make myself clear.

The Supreme Court decided DC v. Heller yesterday. However, Heller was the one who actually filed the legal action looking for an injunction against DC. The city of DC appealed, and now their name is listed first.

Scalia is unfit to serve on the Court

Him and his drunken hunting buddy Cheney should do humanity a favor and
follow the Hitler path

You're a joke. Just retire this name now and make a ghost. You've been begging to debate something, and this is the response I get? You accuse a Supreme Court Justice of lying about a case, but you can't substantively back it up? You can only use red herrings and big font? Anyway, I have to go to work; please have a substantive answer in this thread by the time I come home. Thanks, son.

Bush's team that filed suit in Fed Court led by who? James Baker ...

Baker also protected SA in lawsuits filed by New Yorkers relating to 9-11

You tell em Mrs Hannity as your "reputation" is 100% accurate

Wrong. This case wasn't initiated in federal court, it was filed in Florida state court. The Supreme Court only had jurisdiction under 28 U.S. 1257, which allowed a final judgment appeal from the Florida Supreme Court.

Your second sentence is a complete non sequitur (not surprisingly, to say the least)

Keep em coming. You're a modern-day John Marshall.

IMO, Scalia's comments are beyond absurd. An election isn't necessarily about the candidate. The 2000 presidential election was more about the voters and their ability to get into the voting booth and have their vote counted.

In Florida 2000, if every legitimate voter who went to the polls was allowed to vote and have their vote included in the count, Gore would've won by a sizeable margin (50,000 or so votes). To concede under those circumstances would be a great disservice to every single voter and to the system of democracy in general. (NOTE: How things progressed during recounts and litigation is an entirely different subject.)

i really like this one post by MIMS in another thread...sums it up perfectly

sorry for the stalking mims.......

"Doc, Wil is apparently giving me an opportunity for redemption, so I'm not going to get into a shouting match with you. However, I will say a few words and then I refuse to ever acknowledge your existence again.

As someone who agrees with a fair amount of the non-crazy stuff you post, you're a joke. Your shrill posting style and inability to respond substantively to people who offer counterarguments are disgraceful to anyone who would classify themselves as liberal. You post random blog posts as if they were well-researched pieces of journalism, and then you have the audacity to get angry with them when they point out the fundamental flaws in the article. I don't know why you do what you do, but it's pathetic. If you are just doing this to get a rise out of people, fine; I did the exact same thing. But to me it appears like you honestly think you are influencing people's opinions. You're not, and you're a prime example of what is plaguing American politics."

Scalias' good hunting buddy is Cheney ...

None of em are aware of:

Wally O'Dell
Diebold
Smart Tech
O'Dell's promise in Aug of 2004 that Bush "would carry Ohio"


CARLIN IS CORRECT ... THE LAST OFFICE BUSH WAS OFFICIALLY ELECTED
