The votes that counted : how the court decided the 2000 presidential election / by Gillman, Howard.(CARDINAL)265536;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-279) and index.Courts and the political challenge of Election 2000 -- Who won? The election goes to court -- Changing the rules? The Florida Supreme Court, Round One -- A shot across the bow: the U.S. Supreme Court enters the fray -- Gores' last chance: the Florida Supreme Court, Round Two -- The dam breaks: five justices pick a president -- Politics behind the votes that counted.The dramatic struggle over the outcome of the 2000 presidential election presented judges with an extraordinary political challenge, as well as a historic political temptation.

Gillman also provides a serious yet accessible overview of the legal strategies and debates-from briefs and oral arguments to final decisions. However, in explaining the behavior of courts, he moves beyond an analysis of law to also take into account the influences of partisanship, judicial ideology, and broader political and historical contexts.

After carefully reviewing the arguments for and against their decisions, he concludes that the five justices behind the Bush v. Gore decision acted outside what should be considered the acceptable boundaries of judicial power. Gillman ends with an analysis of why they chose such an unprecedented course of action and an assessment of whether their partisan intervention will have any lasting effect on the Supreme Court's reputation and authority. ...
