Justice Antonin Scalia’s enduring legacy will forever remain in Bush v. Gore. Nothing he ever said, wrote or did compares to the influence of his vote and authorship of the majority decision.
This man, who claimed to revere the U.S. Constitution, ignored Article II, Section 1, which stipulates that disputes in presidential elections are to be resolved by the House of Representatives.
In so doing, he subverted the Constitution, gave our nation the worst president in its history and belied the ideal that the Supreme Court transcends partisan politics.
