(10,262 posts)15. Yeah, Rove went full on media manipulation
And they quietly let the Supreme Court, that W's daddy had put into place, violate the US Constitution. Plus they kept the media busy with the poor loser name calling and suppression of strong liberal protest voices.
There is no place in the Constitution for the Supremes to get involved in the outcome of a presidential vote. The decision goes to the Senate and Congress.
I wish Gore had asked for a march on Washington. I was so angry at the blatant unconstitutional ruling by a bunch of neocon judges. I bet a lot of people would have shown up for him if he had just pushed it.
