Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] what next?

Mike, what exactly was the supreme court ruling and why did they reach
that ruling? Do you really know? Do you really care? Or is this just
another bash on republicans without merit or clear understanding.

Maybe you should read what the decision was that placed the death nail
in Al Gore's hopes of becoming President. A decision that WAS clearly
based in Constitutional law.

Just like I apparently cannot let the Clinton administration go, you
cannot seem to let the 2000 election go, and clearly part of your bias
against Bush is still based in an illogical sense that he "stole" the
election. Something that has been disproved time and time again.
