Gore was a grown up, and there would have been significant continuity on almost all fronts. We all know the discontinuity on the national security front may have played a role in the government missing signals about 9-11, we all know the excesses of Bushes tax and economic policies and the laxness of his regulatory policies (and possibly also the laxness of Clinton's regulatory policies) contributed to the recession at the end of his term. And that's not even getting into Iraq II, which had a lot to do with Bush's Daddy Issues and little to do with sound foreign policy. Of course Gore would have made some mistakes, too, but Bush made some pretty big ones.

My firm’s Arthrex win at the Federal Circuit is set for argument at the Supreme Court March 1. Understand, the shop I run appears at the Supremes. Listen to me when I try to educate?
Have any of the libs Justices EVER not voted lockstep? No. Yet libs talk about the partisan Conservatives, who often drift. Silly silly argument.
