"The day the country died"

Paradox looks back on the day it all started (snippet):

....It’s obvious five years later, Bush vs. Gore ushered in an unprecedented era of elected public servant lawlessness and felonies unknown in the country’s history. What a surprise—they were empirically shown the law means nothing to them, why should they have behaved any differently? Most painful of all in this nightmare is the blanket denial that still surrounds theft of the election and trashing of the law itself. When that felon hag O’Connor announced her retirement I was appalled, but not surprised, to see that Bush vs. Gore was never mentioned in her legal career history. That little case that installed the worst president of our history and chucked the law in the trash bin? That’s nothing, nothing at all. Little more can be expected of our corporate whoring press, one supposes, but here, in this space in time with the five year anniversary of Bush vs. Gore so close upon us, it will not be denied and the truth will not be hidden: Bush vs. Gore was and is the greatest legal disaster in United States history. Not only did it steal the democracy, it set an appalling precedent of total disregard for the law itself, which can be aptly seen in the currently long felon list in the Republican administration and Congress."
