In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

The one that got me was Noem saying of course they hadn't deported any veterans. If she didn't know it had happened - she should have, I did, and I don't have her job - what are the odds the guy was guessing? Why would he even ask if he didn't have an example?
And, yes, again, I know: doesn't care.
