Like the court that decided the 2000 election for us. They weren't
activist... nope, no way!


Bush v. Gore is a classic example of the kind of political question the
Court should never have accepted for review. (Most probably the Florida
courts should have declined jurisdiction for similar reasons, but that's
another issue.) Much like the reapportionment cases in that regard.
Unfortunately, the political question doctrine was substantially abolished
by the Warren court long before the 2000 election. So you can thank the
Warren court for that decision, Jon.



Actually, I can thank a bunch of egotistical jerks, who voted to stop the
election.
