Never has the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of conservative intellectuals been on more prominent display than in the wake of the decision by five U.S. Supreme Court justices to end the 2000 election in favor of their man. A narrow 5-to-4 majority agreed to prevent a count of all potentially legal ballots in order to insure its man's ability to run out the clock on an arbitrarily imposed deadline. One can witness the rare combination of outrage and sense of personal betrayal on the part of so many of the independent judiciary's most eloquent and devoted defenders.
