[Read the article: Scalia: Al Gore made me do it]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It continues to baffle me why middle-of-the-road Americans debate the 2000 Florida vote-counting question as if it were about legal technicalities.
As I understand the issue, Katherine Harris disenfranchised many thousands of black voters, as has been reported by Greg Palast among others. I have looked for any reasonable denial of this assertion, and found none.
So - why does not enrage other Americans as it does myself? Scalia ought to be livid that corruption at a senior level in Florida changed the result of a US presidential election - but he doesn't seem to be that concerned about it. Perhaps that's because he's not really, or at least not at heart, a supreme court justice.
