So says Justice Antonin Scalia about the controversial Bush v. Gore decision which determined the outcome of the 2000 election. According to this law.com article,
Three of the five Supreme Court justices who handed the presidency to George W. Bush in 2000 say they had no choice but to intervene in the Florida recount by deciding against Vice President Al Gore.
Comments from Justice Anthony Kennedy and retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor are in a book published this week. Justice Antonin Scalia made his remarks Tuesday at Iona College in New York.
Scalia, answering questions after a speech, also said critics of the 5-4 ruling in Bush v. Gore need to move on six years after the electoral drama of December 2000, when it seemed the whole nation hung in anguish awaiting the outcome of the presidential election.
"It's water over the deck -- get over it," Scalia said, drawing laughs from his audience. His remarks were reported in the Gannett Co. newspaper Journal-News.
Yes, it is, indeed, time to "get over it," but don't expect the moonbats to do so.
