Two alumni of the Bush effort to stop the Florida 2000 recount,
freeze in place various voting rights violations, and prevent any real
judicial review of a flawed election are reunited in this case. Chief Justice Roberts
was recognized for his contributions to election chaos as then Florida
Governor Jeb Bush's legal advisor. His contributions were less than
helpful. Ted Olson represented George W. Bush in the Supreme Court
case that stopped the recount. He also served as a key strategist for George W. Bush's Florida 2000 recount efforts.
How coincidental that Chief Justice Roberts reached out to his Bush campaign 2000 alumnus Olson by agreeing to hear a case that surprised many when it was selected for the Supreme Court docket.
How ironic that the case presents the opportunity to bring corporate funding into U.S. politics in a way that would end any pretences of democracy as we know it. History waited just nine years to repeat itself.

N.B. Wouldn't a reasonable person conclude that Fox News violates the McCain-Feingold Act on a regular basis? Link
