william kristol, do you want to respond? guest: i think there has been a certain amount of voter suppression in some states. tradition thatg when the state board of results, certifies the ast is pretty well taken demonstrable fraud or purposeful this counting of ballots or some massive ever. there was not that in florida. just the way michigan certified week or two ago and other states like georgia. the media covered that in 2020. you can go back and say maybe the rules should have been stricter on mail-in voting and maybe they should not have waived the requirement for signatures on absentee ballots, whatever. , hewhen the votes are cast should have difference. that is why many thought the florida supreme court was behaving as an imperial judiciary selecting certain types of recounts that would help gore. the u.s. supreme court did not just stop the counting at some moment. they restored the actual, certified results by the florida election board, just the way we have seen the results by the georgia born after the recount,

william kristol? >> yeah, that's interesting. i don't -- you know, i haven't gone back and reviewed it all. you're a florida voter so maybe you remember some of these zigs and zags of the florida supreme court. i remember the powerful dissent by the chief justice of the florida supreme court who i think was a democratic appointee but i don't think boies thought the u.s. supreme court should stay out of it. that would have been possible and then the count would have gone on and florida wouldn't have certified on the safe harbor day and so forth. one thing on e. j.'s last comment, i remember gore winning the popular vote. we were all struck by that. it was understood. we had the electoral college. there was talk about maybe we should rethink the electoral college but it's hard to change that without a constitutional amendment. and, you know, sort of a -- it hadn't happened, if i'm not mistaken, in more than a century, right? again, in the political world that e.j. and i grew up in, if you win the popula

william kristol, do you agree? do you think the justices had their minds made up before they heard the arguments? >> i think that's an unfair way to put it. they might have had their minds made up, in that they considered the legal case. it wasn't actually news that it was coming to the supreme court and decided they were going to uphold the original november 27th decision of the florida board, and that, yes, if you are inclined to do that already, you're more likely to give an injunction. but it's not like -- it's a mistake to say there's something illegitimate about it. that's the way courts often work. you don't give an injunction if you think there's not a strong case. you do give a temporary order or injunction if there's the likelihood, in this case, the plaintiff prevailing. i agree very much it was an indicator of what was to come. i think it doesn't prove anything about that -- one side's reasoning is any better than the other's. i want to come back to the previous caller, though, just on the fraud questio

eastern by ej william kristol. the two commentators will join us together to take your calls, questions and dive into the arguments and history. that is coming up in about one hour. back to your phone calls, joe of patterson, new jersey. an independent. what do you think the legacy of bush v. gore was? caller: i think bush won and i think gore lost. can you hear me? host: yes, sir. what are your thoughts on yesterday's action? caller: yesterday i think is a different story. yesterday i think there was a lot of fraud going on. i think there's a lot of cheating going on, and i think joe should go to jail, and so should hunter, and so should jim biden. merry christmas, joe, because that is where you belong. host: joe in new jersey. this is andrea out of walla walla, washington, democrat. caller: good morning. i cannot believe i have gone -- gotten through. i want to share that i am so disappointed. , am impressed by bush and gore but i'm disappointed in the people that put trump in office and have kept him in office.

host: william kristol?st: yes, that is interesting. i have not gone back and reviewed all. you are a florida voter so you remember some of the zigs and zags. the supreme court, and i remember the powerful dissent by the chief of the florida supreme court, the democratic appointee but i don't remember he thought , the u.s. supreme court would stay out of it. i guess then the count would have gone on and florida would not have certified on safe harbor day, and so forth, but one last point, on e.j.'s last comment that struck me. of course, i remember gore winning the popular vote. we were all struck by that. it was understood. we had the electoral college. there was not a huge crisis about it. there was talk that maybe we should rethink the electoral college. it is hard to change that without a constitutional amendment. it had not happened in more than a century. right? in the political world e.j. and i grew up in, if you won the popular vote, you won the electoral college votes. so the whole electoral college

host: william kristol? guest: a lot can happen in 2001 as jeffords switched parties. the senate was pretty unusual as well. they switched majority control to the democrats. then the main thing that happened was 9/11 and we have talked about this before. the book was the brainchild of ej. it was produced for brookings. we selected the pieces on the right side of the argument. we made sure they were read by the liberals by the brookings folks. anyway, the book stands up in the sense that there -- a lot of it is beyond the details of the cases of the voting but a lot of it is more democratic theory, elections, the roles of the courts and a lot of the pieces on both sides stand up to a pretty sophisticated debate. panel withdoing a the science association and ej and i did it with a couple of professor types, discussing it and everyone assigned the book in their classes as many did in this would be a huge story and topic for the next months going was ad and i think it labor day weekend so was the beginning of se
