That is fairly irrelevant because their ruling equalled deciding upon the
presidency and their vote was 100% parisan.

Etc...
 
You could have expected that I have a good book about that period in history
... "Down & Dirty, The Plot To Steal The Presidency" by Jake Tapper ISBN
0-316-83264-2.
 
It's amazing as it describes the array of dirty tricks that both candidates
applied in their struggle for the Presidency and I'm amazed at how far the
different sides would go in order to win the state of Florida.
 
Although the author does not side for one candidate or the other it is clear
there was a vortex of fraud initiated not by the GWB-campaign but by
election-officials put in place by Jeb Bush, the Gore-campaign got pulled along
and neither behaved quite nice.
 
The sought-after recount was in those precincts where exit-polls showed a sharp
discrepancy with election-counts.
 
Please do not call me uninformed.
 
On a personal note, I've been voting in elections now for 37 years and never
have I seen the disorder, mismanagement and fraud which occured that day in
Florida. We may have a royal family, but I've never here seen the circus I saw
in November 2000 in Florida.
 
> But seriously, all that aside, 8 years tops for Bush, he will be gone in
> 09, your GODS serve for life dont they?
 
And can you guarantee someone only half the fool that GWB is will be elected in
office?
 
Personally I do not care about our royal family. They cost money, in general
come from a shallow gene-pool and are a main source of inspiration for stand-up
comedians. In the end they are harmless but I'd rather elect my head of state.
Unfortunately, so far there is no majority in Parliament nor the Senate to
change the constitution and abolish the monarchy.
 
I'm not supportive of them, but they're there and I/we are stuck with them for
the ride.
