Several new books make it clear that the Supreme Court’s notorious Bush vs. Gore ruling “wasn’t as bad as it seemed at the time. It was worse.” In order of increasing bombastics:
Sunstein and Epstein’s The Vote, a collection of essays by legal scholars from the left and right, demonstrates “how weak, cramped and unconvincing the arguments made by the majority’s defenders are. Not a single writer
finds himself able to defend the ruling in its entirety, and some of the concessions they make are huge.”Alan Dershowitz’s Supreme Injustice argues that the Court violated the judicial oath of impartiality. Heads should roll. And “Vincent Bugliosi’s The Betrayal of America is prime porterhouse. Bugliosi asserts
that the majority justices are common criminals.” Salon
