In what happens to be a mass fraud committed by the state of Florida, Bush, Harris, and company not only removed thousands of black felons from the rolls, they also removed thousands of black citizens who had never committed a crime in their lives, along with thousands of eligible voters who had committed only misdemeanors.
The opinion states, if the vote count had been allowed to continue, Al Gore would be the president!

Words that will live in infamy forever... "The counting of votes that are of questionable legality does, in my view, threaten irreparable harm to petitioner (Bush), and to the country, by casting a cloud upon what he (Bush) claims to be the legitimacy of his election." - Antonin Scalia, Supreme Court Justice
Scalia's statement can be found at: Supreme Court of the United States, No. 00-949 (00A504) George W. Bush et al. V Albert Gore, Jr. et al. Scalia J. concurring opinion. 531 US_(2000).
I only respond to info that can be cited. You have not shown any evidence of this allegation. Only conjecture. Stick to provable facts junior.
Btw, do really have a problem with removing felons of any color from the rolls, if doing is in accordance with the law? Which it is in this case.
of course you have no proof of this outrageous claim, so we will just take you at your word on it.
ROFLMAO
On the morning of December 9, 2000, the Supreme Court got word that the recounts in Florida, in spite of everything the Bush Camp had done to fix the elections, were going in favor of Al Gore. By 2 P.M., the unofficial tally showed that Gore was catching up to Bush-”only 66 votes down, and gaining!” as one breathless newscaster put it. It was critical to Bush that the words “Al Gore is in the lead” never be heard on American television: With only momentas to spare, they did what they had to do. At 2:45 that afternoon, the Supreme Court stopped the recount.
On the court sat Regan appointee Sandra Day O' Connor and Nixion appointee Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Both in their seventies, they were hoping to retire under a Republican administration so that their replacements would share their conservative ideology. On election night, O' Connor was heard lamenting at a party in Georgetown that she couldn't hold out another four-or eight years. Junior Bush was their only hope for securing a contented retirement in their home state of Arizona.
Meanwhile, two other justices with extremist right-wing viewpoints found themselves with a conflict of interest. Justice Clarence Thomas's wife, Virginia Lamp Thomas, worked at the Herritage Foundation, a leading conservative think tank in D.C.; now she has just been hired by George W. Bush to help recruit people to serve in his impending administration. And Eugene Scalia, the son of Justice Antonin Scalia, was a lawyer with the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, the very law firm representing Bush before the Supreme Court!
But neither Thomas nor Scalia saw any conflict of interest, and they refused to remove themselves from the case. In fact, when Court convened later, it was Scalia who issued the now-infamous explanation of why the ballot-counting had to be halted: “The counting of votes that are of questionable legality does, in my view, threaten irreparable harm to petitioner (Bush), and to the country, by casting a cloud upon what he (Bush) claims to be the legitimacy of his election.” In other words, if we let all the votes be counted and they come out in favor of Gore, and Gore wins, well, that will impair Bush's ability to govern once we install him as “President.”

NICE CONSPIRACY--but it doesn't hold water. Is this a front for the coming election in case your guy doesn't win? 7 U.S. Supreme justices out of 9, told the Florida Monkey court to knock it off. The one appointee to the US Supreme court that George Bush # 1 sat on the court was in opposition to the other seven. How does that set with your conspiracy?

Only in YOUR mind, moonbat.
I get the outrage green feels, I felt it too, perhaps more strongly because I'm from Florida and I lived it live and in person.
The entire 2000 election was a fiasco. BUT, it's 2008 now and no one who didn't believe the election was stolen before is going to believe it now and no one who did believe it was stolen will suddenly give up that idea.
It's a waste of time to debate it. and really, even if somehow it could be 100% verified that it was indeed stolen, what would change? No one I know has a time machine to go back and fix the results. We can't take back the time GWB spent as President from 2001 on.
The only thing to do now is be more vigliant to ensure nothing like that happens again. I think more people believe the election was stolen than don't. I think more people are on the look out now for this type of incident. More questions are asked and that's a good thing.
It's time to let the 2000 election go and focus on the election that is ahead of us.
Good post.
Debating this issue is pointless.
The evidence is there for all to see if they care to.
The courts have spoken, let's move on.

If you think that a series of events leading up to the 2000 election, that was taken from Gore in Tallahassee, is all in the past. Let's see what else flys!
