Wasn't he also behind the "Brooks Brothers Riot" that stopped the counting in Florida and threw the 2000 election to Bush?

Yes. He has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back and he’s one of the biggest pieces of shit in a generation. He has no redeeming qualities. There are a few documentaries about him, I think Netflix had a good one a couple years ago.
“Get Me Roger Stone” it was Netflix and it’s quite good.
Yes! I knew it was something like that but I kept thinking of “Where’s my Roy Cohn” or whatever Trump said. Thanks!
So if that didn't happen likely Gore would have won?
Would you believe me if I told you that at least 3 of the current supreme court members were lawyers arguing on behalf of Bush in that case?
Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Alito?
Also, while wikipediaing Alito, I learned that Alito worked under Trump's sister as an AUSA and she spoke at Alito's confirmation hearing. Also, Bill Clinton appointed Trump's sister to the appellate court.
Coney-Barrett is #3 of the current justices.
Correct. As we found out AFTER Bush was installed, no matter how you counted the votes in Florida, if the vote had been completed, Gore would have won.

Wrong. If you only counted the votes for Bush, Gore would lose.
Tell me you didn't read the linked article without telling me you didn't read the linked article.
"In each case, if the newly examined votes had been allowed to count in the November election, Mr Gore would have won Florida's 21 electoral college votes by a narrow majority and he, not Mr Bush, would be the president. Instead, Mr Bush officially carried Florida by 537 votes after recounts were stopped."
Whoosh. Read it again.
I've been reading it since January 2001.
If the recounts had been allowed to complete, no matter how you counted the votes, Gore would have won.
Bush only became President because they stopped counting valid ballots.
My comment was tongue in cheek and a joke. You missed the joke. I agree with you that Gore should have won.
Poe's law in action!

How in hell could that be taken any other way? definitely not Poe's Law if you cant read.
Gore did win.
Always knew that why hated Bush so much and still do. Gore was my first presidential election. Just turn 20.
The republicans have not won the presidency legitimately since HW Bush. I don't count GW's second term because the first one was illegitimate.
There were major questions about the Ohio election in 2004 and there was a computer professional who claimed he helped rig that election... just before dying in a mysterious plane crash.

Fun fact: in the past 30 years of presidential elections Republicans have had more riots than they have popular vote victories!
Fun fact: the electrical college determines the presidency in our representative democracy.
Yes, and it appears that had vote counting been allowed unimpeded in Florida, as opposed to undemocratically stopping it for partisan gain, Gore would have won the electoral college and popular vote in 2000.
There's really nothing fun about defining land as more important than people.
It's almost as expensive as having an upgraded panel tied in but what are you doing to do?
