Bush v. Gore: What were they thinking?
Article Abstract:
The author contends that the US Supreme Court majority in Bush v. Gore acted out of a belief that the Florida Supreme Court had to be prevented from awarding the 2000 election victory to Al Gore. The author argues further that the federal court engaged in a form of unjustified civil disobedience.
