Scalia Rewrites History, Claims 5-4 Bush v. Gore Decision of 2000, ‘Wasn’t Even Close’

The craziness just keeps on coming from the “venerable” US Supreme Court. The sick individuals that make up the corrupt court never fail to amaze in their nefarious dealings. For example:

At Wesleyan University in early 2012, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia gave a speech. At the end of the speech, Scalia took questions from the audience. One person asked about the Bush-Gore case, where the Supreme Court had to determine the winner of the election.

“Get over it,” Scalia said of the controversy surrounding it, to laughter from the audience. Scalia reminded the audience it was Gore who took the election to court, and the election was going to be decided in a court anyway—either the Florida Supreme Court or the US Supreme Court.

“It was a long time ago; people forget…It was a 7-2 decision. It wasn’t even close,” he said.
Bush v. Gore was not a 7-2 decision — and indeed, Scalia could tell this was true by counting all four of the dissenting opinions in that case. Although it is true that the four dissenters divided on how the Florida recount should proceed — two believed there should be a statewide recount of all Florida voters while two others believed a narrower recount would be acceptable — not one of the Court’s four moderates agreed with Scalia that the winner of the 2000 presidential election should effectively be chosen by the five most conservative members of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Unbelievable.
