Notes for the Unpublished Supplemental Separate Opinions in Bush v. Gore

Files

Description

These opinions were prepared for discussion in a constitutional law class. They are, of course, wholly fictitious; I have attempted to capture the voice of an opinion, without the use of the usual legal citations and technical arguments. They are designed to explore the legal issues raised in the actual opinion and to provoke discussion on judicial role. They are also designed to rebut the notion that the decisions of the various judges can only be explained by efforts to advance a favored presidential candidate.
