Ned Foley offers this
oped, which originally appeared in the New York Sun.
It begins: "There is a common perception - actually a misperception, in
my judgment - that the U.S. Supreme Court determined who won the White
House in 2000. Even if Bush v. Gore had not stopped the Florida
recount, it is most likely that the current President Bush would have
been the occupant of the Oval Office anyway."
Daniel Henniger offers this
