BOOK SAYS JUSTICE SOUTER WAS GOING TO RESIGN AFTER BUSH V. GORE ELECTION [+] ballot by Kev24 created Tue Sep 04, 07 According to Jeffrey Toobin’s new book on the Supreme Court, Justice David Souter nearly resigned in the wake of Bush v. Gore, so distraught was he over the decision that effectively ended the Florida recount and installed George W. Bush as president. In “The Nine,” which goes on sale Sept. 18, Toobin writes that while the other justices tried to put the case behind them, “David Souter alone was shattered,” at times weeping when he thought of the case. “For many months, it was not at all clear whether he would remain as a justice,” Toobin continues. “That the Court met in a city he loathed made the decision even harder. At the urging of a handful of close friends, he decided to stay on, but his attitude toward the Court was never the same.” note the word installed. do you think he was racked with guilt over knowing the dark days we faced under bush? should he have resigned and if so, why. if you think not, why not. yes, he should have resigned no, he helped to install bush and he suffers the same fate we are No, and he didn't help install Bush Ballot #117537 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
