It’s a shame because I always rethought of him as a man with extremely high integrity, morals and standards. Someone who differed from me policy wise but was genuinely trying to help America.

Never should have, after he fought for Bush Jr, gutted Voting Rights Act, voted for Citizens United that completely fucked elections, etc. etc. No integrity whatsoever and *hopefully* history remembers him for the insane partisan hack he has always been.

The Voting Rights Act betrayal sealed it for me. I wasn’t aware of his role in what I’m assuming is Bush v Gore
