FOX: USSC John Paul Steven upholds vote challenges in Ohio

11/2/04

[Liz]

Foz just reported that though he has the power to overturn the lower court ruling, USSC John Paul Steven says he will not stop vote challenges in Ohio.

Dumbocrats did not want Republican challengers at the polls, had sued and won on one level. That decision was overturned at the next level.

Now USSC Justice Stevens has upheld the right to challenge.

[CT CONSERVATIVE]

Yeah for the Rule of Law

[Numbers Guy]

Interesting that Stevens, who while a Ford appointee, is one of the court's most liberal justices, ruled to prevent Democratic corruption.

[jneesy]

ussc is gonna stay out of this one if at all possible

[LisaS]

Was it Stevens who recently admitted that he was biased in the Bush v Gore case before the Supremes?

[apillar]

Justice Stevens may be a liberal, but he's an old school liberal in the tradition of Roosevelt, back when liberals actually had little bit of honor. He's not going to do anything that makes it look like he's taking advantage of Rehnquist illness for petty political reasons.

[jerod]

The law is on the side of truth.

And as long as that's the case, these phoney attempts to circumvent the election will always be over ruled.

[fooman]

why not help the fraud since he is a lib.

Surprised.

[Founding Father]

This story is misleading. Stevens does not have the power to overrule the court of appeal, unless he cam find at least three other justices who want to hear the case---then he can not overrule, but can merely issue a stay order.

Hey RATS! Our lawyers are whupping your lawyers BIG TIME!

Interesting that Stevens, who while a Ford appointee, is one of the court's most liberal justices, ruled to prevent Democratic corruption.

Stevens is on the liberal side, but Ginsburg and Souter are the two most liberal.

[IamConservative]

"back when liberals actually had little bit of honor."

This is what really disturbs me about this years election. The left has absolutely no honor. They will lie about lies.

I personally see no point in winning if you sacrifice your honor and integrity to do so.

U.S. Supreme Court rejects Ohio Democrats

Justice John Paul Stevens, who oversees Ohio, acted on his own without referring the Democrats' request to the full court for a vote.

[OldFriend]

Wonder if this is the fallout from Breyer admitting his vote may have been swayed by his bias in the Bush v Gore matter.

[Liz]

I believe Fox was reporting "as it happened." I'm sure they will micromanage the details later.

[OldFriend]

In the Bush v Gore matter, Stevens was one of two, Ginsburg being the other, on one of the points they were voting on.

He's as biased as can be. Not sure what he's doing other than trying to keep the Court out of the election.

By trashing the US Supreme Court for four long years the dems may have destroyed their only hope of stealing the election.

[Time is now]

Yee Haa....LOL......

[discipler]

I'm happy for the decision, but I can hear the Dumbocrats for the next four years: "George Bush was given the election in the courts." Of course, they are too STUPID to see that we are talking about upholding laws. These moronic Dems have no good reason for not wanting witnesses there: oh but they have plenty of bad reasons for not wanting them. :)

[veronica]

Bush needs to win. Rehnquist will retire in the next four years. We can assume that now.
