10 years ago today...

The United States Supreme Court decided Bush was going to be the resident of the WH, instead of the actual winner of the election.

And they have been telling us to get over it ever since.

2. Bush Coup

The question is, how different would the outcomes have been?
Easy to play Sunday morning quarterback, but Obama has maintained many of the most odious Bush policies and Gore wasn't a dove.

3. The son of a former president and spy chief was installed as president after judges,

appointed by his father, decided to stop vote-counting in the state where his brother was governor

If it had happened in Africa or Asia, Americans would have recognized it as a coup
