A new book by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi examines the theft by the Supreme Court of the 2000 election. Below is a piece of a revealing (and blood-boiling) chat with Mr. Bugliosi. Read the whole interview at:

Vincent Bugliosi: I'm happy to be online. Let me just say before starting out, that if the Supreme Court in its December 12th decision had done the same thing for Al Gore that they did for George Bush, I can give you a 100% guarantee that I would have written the same identical book, "The Betrayal of America." If I have any credibility with the American people, and I hope I do, I want to tell America to wake up to the fact that on December the 12th, five members of the United States Supreme Court committed one of the biggest and most serious crimes in American history when they stopped the recount in Florida, took the election away from the American people, and handed it to George Bush. Unbelievably, five Supreme Court justices, not the American people, chose our president. And because of what they did, I am very serious when I say that in a just and fair world these five justices belong behind prison bars, as much as any American white-collar criminal who ever lived. I'm very confident that any fair-minded person who reads my book "The Betrayal of America," will not only agree with me but be absolutely outraged at what these justices did. How would event the best defense attorney in the country defend these five justices when they themselves, in so many words, confessed to their crime. How did they confess? They confessed by saying that their ruling that different standards to count votes violated the equal protection clause only applied to Bush v. Gore, not any other case. But if their ruling set forth a valid legal principle good enough for Bush v. Gore, why wouldn't it be good enough for other cases? This is the first time in the 210 year history of the court that the court limited its ruling to the case before it. This fact alone, and all by itself, clearly and unequivocally shows that these five justices were up to no good, that they knew their ruling was bogus and fraudulent and only a means to hand the election to George Bush. Because if their ruling was based on the law, there's no reason under the moon for them to have said that it only applies to Bush v. Gore. And in "The Betrayal of America," I point out that like typical criminals these five justices left their incriminating fingerprints everywhere. Speaking as a prosecutor, in my book, I believe I prove that beyond a reasonable doubt that these five justices deliberately set out to make sure that George Bush became president.
