It was the Supreme Court who broke that tie. Which, by your standard, makes it all Constitutional and altogether enlightened and righteous. Me, I just call it damn lucky. I'd hate to have had Gore in charge when the planes hit.

The nihilists and the liars have buried truth alive in a shallow grave.

Bush is president. Hopefully, only for a single term. Alex The sun will set without thy assistance. -- The Talmud
Post #53,562 by wharris2 9/27/02 2:22:48 PM Reply	Still wait and see But the fact I'm waiting and seeing says something about Bush as president. Dammit, why can't either party put up a decent candidate? Bob Dole, Bill Clinton, Al Gore - none of them are worth a bucket of snot. Bill Bradley, despite being a Democrat, I could have voted for. There are other decent Democrats and Republicans I coulda voted for... but Bush vs. Gore? Ye willikers what a sad-ass choice. The lawyers would mostly rather be what they are than get out of the way even if the cost was Hammerfall. - Jerry Pournelle

But at his point, it might be nice to have someone in there who can understand why the kings and despots he needs as allies - or at least as neutrals - might not be enthusiastic about his vision of bringing democracy to the region. ---- United we stand Divided we dominate the planet without really trying
