Bush v. Gore

Al Gore now can add a Nobel Peace Prize to his Oscar kudos, but does it make up for the election the Supreme Court took from him?

What about the rest of us, who are living in a world so broken by that other guy? What do we put on the mantle?

Book says Souter mulled resignation after Bush v. Gore.

In “The Nine,” which goes on sale Sept. 18, Toobin writes that while the other justices tried to put the case behind them, vid 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.”

What happened in those deliberations?
