Bush, elicited immediate, heated, and widespread debate. Critics argued that the justices used weak legal arguments to overturn the Florida Supreme Court's ruling, ending a ballot recount and awarding the presidency to Bush. More fundamentally, they questioned the motives of conservative judges who arrived at a decision in favor of the candidate who reflected their political leanings.Rhetoric and public affairs series.Contested electionsUnited StatesHistoryPolitical questions and judicial powerUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Contested electionsHistory.Political questions and judicial powerHistory.347.73/26Rountree Clarke1958-857205MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460635603321Judging the Supreme Court1914138UNINA
