The most important lesson that can be learned from Dred Scott is that the Supreme Court should exercise caution when addressing political controversy. Therefore, the Court's handling of Bush v. Gore was rather peculiar. This article looks at the legal system's approach to the 2000 US presidential election. It looks first at the protest action of the FL Supreme Court & the US Supreme Court. It then examines the contest action of both court systems. Finally, the article examines reaction to the Supreme Court's decision, especially the Court's partisan leanings. The article concludes that the Supreme Court's actions in the 2000 election prove that the highest court in the land operates under the assumption that the people are too "stupid or too irrational" to govern. In making this assumption, the justices of the Supreme Court demonstrated both their arrogance & their willingness to alter the law. K. A. Larsen
