Bush v. Gore Doubts: Retired Justice Sandra O'Connor Expresses Regret About Supreme Court's Role in 2000 Election
Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor told the Chicago Tribune that perhaps she and her colleagues should have turned down the George W. Bush campaign's appeal of a Florida Supreme Court decision to allow a recount request by the Al Gore campaign. Justice O'Connor had been in the majority in the high court's 5-4 decision that stopped the recount, sealing Bush's election.
