WASHINGTON—In an unexpected judicial turnaround, the Supreme Court this week reversed its 2000 ruling in the landmark case of Bush v. Gore, stripping George W. Bush of his earlier political victory, and declaring Albert Arnold Gore the 43rd president of the United States of America.

The court, which called its original decision to halt manual recounts in Florida "a ruling made in haste," voted unanimously on Wednesday in favor of the 2000 Democratic nominee.

Gore will serve as commander in chief from Dec. 10 to Jan. 20.

"Allowing this flaw in judgment to stand would set an unworkable precedent for future elections and cause irreparable harm to the impartiality of this court," said Chief Justice John G. Roberts in his majority opinion. "Furthermore, let me be the first to personally congratulate President Gore on his remarkable come-from-behind victory. May he guide us wisely into this new millennium."
Added Roberts, "The system works."

2. Makes perfect sense to me..

Is there any perp that was involved in the crime, that is not falling all over themselves coming out with mea culpas?

3. If they ever did overturn that decision,

it would be because they wanted to lay the blame for the last 8 years at our feet.

Onion or not, if they could get away with it - they would.

4. Gore's 30 day agenda:

Executive Orders to overturn EVERYTHING that Chimpy did, then issue indictments and treason charges against every member of the Cabal.

INCLUDING SCALIA.

5. Throw in Pelosi, and You've Got a MANDATE!

Have I ever mentioned how little respect I have for that woman? How she violates every principle of good government, good politics and good citizenship? How she disgraces womenkind?
