Maybe. But that doesn't mean they could've made a mistake. And it certainly doesn't mean that they can't apologize.

Just because the loudest people didn't get what they wanted doesn't mean it is a mistake. It just means they are more adept at making their complaints heard.

And, just for the record Typhoid, the Supreme Court did NOT appoint Bush. They stopped the manual recounts that Gore kept on vouching to the Florida Supreme Court to make happen. The Supreme Court stepped in to stop the state court from continually rewriting state law concerning the election. Bush had won every recount up to there, so that allowed him to win the election.

So, he was elected by the people, because the votes went his way. The courts actually kept Gore from stealing Florida out from under Bush.

Kept Gore from stealing Florida? Thats rich. Yes because we all know that alot of the votes wernt counted, alot of votes that probably went to Gore. And as a result of that, Bush won.

Meh, Not my country, have fun getting drafted.

Excuse me, I meant the most votes in Florida. We all know he didn't get the popular vote.

Typhoid, if you really want to know what happened, actually read the case study instead of just what you hear from the news or your friends or where ever you got that information. All legal ballots were counted, Bush was still ahead. Gore was pushing for interpretation of disqualified ballots, which wasn't in law, but the Florida Supreme Court was changing law to allow more recounts to occur.
