36259 Gore Gives up -- rank: 1000

So I'm wondering, will all the liberals who are distressed by the SC decision now come to question the whole cult of the Court and the Constitution? Or will they see this decision as a departure from or a perversion of a beautiful norm?

Los Angeles Times - December 11, 2000 A 'Modern' Democracy That Can't Count Votes Special Report: What happened in Florida is the rule and not the exception.

TheStandard.com - December 12, 2000 Economists: Relax, This Won't Hurt a Bit Most of us like recession speculation about as much as we like tetanus shots.
