How in the world can you get it so totally wrong? It was indeed the Supreme Court that intervened in 2000 and stopped the Florida re-counting that might have helped Al Gore, not the other way around! You are right claiming that the court shouldn’t have intervened, except they did so to help Bush, not Gore, who got the most primary votes, while the outdated Electoral system gave it to Bush, unfortunately. It looks like Republicans cannot win without the Electoral College, or without voter suppression. You may also recall that the conservative judge Sandra O’Connor was the fifth and deciding vote against Gore, but later regretted what she had done when she realized what a mess Bush had created, – a mess so severe that it took someone with President Obama’s capacity and insight to get us back on track again, – an accomplishment especially admirable when we consider how the Republican-infested Congress obstructed him every which way they could imagine.

The federal courts attempted to intervene in attempt to help Gore and they were slapped down. They did not have the authority to get involved, but once again the corrupt activist judges on the left attempted to abuse their positions.

Did you really just relate 9/11 to the election of Bush? Where did you get your history? CNN?

Speaking of history you should really read the federalist papers and educate yourself on the Constitution. Perhaps you will stop crying about the EC once you understand our history and why we have it and why it is needed.
