compared to the problems with the decision that cheated him out of a clean victory.
The Renquist 5 sold out the Court and the Constitution and the concept of judicial restraint for a single act of kingmaking. Do you seriously think that if the roles were reversed they would have selected Gore?
And no, I really don't think Gore would have been a much better president. As I said - the matter of who occupies the White House is a minor detail. The rape of the electoral process and the usurpation of authority matter far more than that.
If Bush is better than Gore would have been, then the court only made the wrong call twice: first when it took the case, second when they stopped the count. The third call, which candidate they picked, is a 50/50.
How we select leaders is extremely important. Who actualy gets selected far less so.
