So...thirteen years after the fact, Sandra Day O'Connor
thinks that maybe the Supreme Court should not have taken on
Bush v. Gore because in part it was a highly politicized issue, and in the end, did much damage to the Court's reputation.
You know, it's one thing when a nineteen-year-old, after spending two hours over a toilet puking his innards up, thinks that maybe chugging that fifth of tequila wasn't such a good idea. It's another when a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, someone who gets paid to be prescient, thinks that a decision which ultimately had disastrous effects for millions of Americans perhaps wasn't such a good idea.
The problem is Supreme Court Justices making decisions that are based on the best interests of the republican party, and not on the rule of law.
Peace,
