Bush v. Gore Revisited: An Interesting Read

[GiovanniC]

This is an old piece that was written just after the Supremes installed the Usurper. It's very interesting and understandable, written by an attorney.

Just thought it was an interesting Flashback Piece.

Q: Oh. Does this have something to do with states' rights? Don't conservatives love that?

A: Yes. These five justices have held that the federal government has no business telling a sovereign state university it can't steal trade secrets just because such stealing is prohibited by law. Nor does the federal government have any business telling a state that it should bar guns in schools. Nor can the federal government use the equal protection clause to force states to take measures to stop violence against women.

Q: Is there an exception in this case?

A: Yes, the "Gore exception." States have no rights to control their own state elections when it can result in Gore being elected President. This decision is limited to only this situation.
