I assume no such thing.

The issue is not who would have won or lost had those Florida votes been counted.

The issue is that the US Supreme court majority (a bare majority of 5-4) used convoluted, twisted, and tortured logic to actually cease the counting of votes.

There was absolutely no reason to stop counting of those votes, unless it was because the majority feared the outcome of counting those votes.

If the Supreme Court had concerns about procedural matters, they could have sequestered the results of the vote count, and made a reasoned decision later.

In their decision, the court majority explicitly stated that their decision in this matter was not to be used as a precedent in future cases.

When the full picture is looked at objectively, this was arguably the greatest travesty of justice in the 20th century , and equivalent in historical terms to the beginning of the fall of the Roman Republic.

OMG, no wonder democrats are percieved the way they are. This travesty of justice doesn't come anywhere close to Hitler and what he did in the 1940s. Doesn't come anywhere close to what the USSR has done and is an insult to anyone who knows history.
