Name a Democrat who should Run for Pres in 2020

It was blatantly unconstitutional for the Supremes to have intervened, as the constitution gives the states the sole right to certify their election results.

The court that upheld Obamacare?

YES, Obamacare for the rabid right had the fatal defect of being blatantly Constitutional

As soon as it was considered as a tax that was never intended to be a tax. The court changed the law and then ruled it Constitutional. Water under the bridge. Now is it Fat Al 2020 or not?

Federal law gives the states a deadline to issue corrected results, after which the original results stand unless Congress overturns them.

Or at least that's how the law stood back in 2000. I assume it remains the same, but have not bothered to see if anyone has changed the law since then.

Florida was about to go past this deadline, at which point Al Gore's attempts to cheat his way into the presidency would have required having Congress overturn the official Florida results.

The Supreme Court simply was not going to stand for letting Al Gore precipitate a constitutional crisis.


Note also that the election results were certified by the State of Florida. The Supreme Court did not prevent Florida from doing this, and the Supreme Court did not certify any election results or endorse any results not certified by Florida. All the Supreme Court did was tell Florida that they were out of time and it was time to wrap things up.

I have no idea who Fat Al 2020 is. Sane Al Gore though is fine with me. Actually I'm going for ABRCDT, Anybody But Rabid Corrupt Donald Trump

It was ABC last election. Anyone but Clinton. I doubt if your acronym will enjoy the same success.

Thus sprach our Constitutional scholar!

As you have noted in the past, the Supreme Court determines what is and isn't Constitutional.

You can bitch when the Court renders a ruling you don't like, but it's an expression of impotence.

Yes, you do.
