December 12, 2000 - A Day of Infamy

Seven years ago, the United States Supreme Court issued its 5-4 decision in Bush v. Gore. By stopping the contested vote count in Florida on December 12, 2000, the conservative wing of the Supreme Court effectively gave the presidency to George W. Bush and took the decision away from the voters.

The damage done by that Supreme Court decision that day seven years ago set this country back 50 years and it will take a 100 years to pay for it.
