      Would you believe me if I told you that at least 3 of the current supreme court members were lawyers arguing on behalf of Bush in that case?

        Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Alito?

        Also, while wikipediaing Alito, I learned that Alito worked under Trump’s sister as an AUSA and she spoke at Alito’s confirmation hearing. Also, Bill Clinton appointed Trump’s sister to the appellate court.

          Tell me you didn’t read the linked article without telling me you didn’t read the linked article.

          “In each case, if the newly examined votes had been allowed to count in the November election, Mr Gore would have won Florida’s 21 electoral college votes by a narrow majority and he, not Mr Bush, would be the president. Instead, Mr Bush officially carried Florida by 537 votes after recounts were stopped.”

        Always knew that why hated Bush so much and still do. Gore was my first presidential election. Just turn 20.

      The republicans have not won the presidency legitimately since HW Bush. I don’t count GW’s second term because the first one was illegitimate.
