Bush win the presidency found that Florida election officials, facing intense GOP pressure to accept military votes, counted hundreds of overseas absentee ballots that failed to comply with state election laws.

The above article had the following in it:

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told the Times: "This election was decided by the voters of Florida a long time ago. And the nation, the president and all but the most partisan Americans have moved on."

The Betrayal of America : How the Supreme Court undermined the Constitution and chose our President

No, Mr. Fleischer, the election was not decided by the Florida voters. The Supreme Court saw to that. This book, by Vincent Bugliosi, shows the treason committed by the Supreme Court in giving the election to bush (lack of capitalization intentional). Bugliosi doesn't mince words. This book is a must read.

No, Mr. Fleischer, the people who haven't moved on are those that care for the institutions and laws that make this country. It's obvious that the people who are running this country, and those that put them there, care not one whit for these laws and institutions. They are there only for their self interest.
