Biography
In 2000, the Supreme Court deliberated over Bush v. Gore, a case asking the court whether or not a vote recount could be held in the crucial swing state of Florida following the 2000 United States presidential election. Enticed by the prospect of retiring under a Republican President rather than the Democratic Party's candidate Al Gore, O'Connor was persuaded by Templar ally and fellow justice Antonin Scalia into voting in favor of Abstergo Industries' puppet George W. Bush.[1]
O'Connor retired from the Court in 2006 and was replaced by Samuel Alito. Her intended replacement, the Templar John Roberts, had been appointed as Chief Justice the year before in the wake of Chief Justice William Rehnquist's death. Years prior, Scalia had given Roberts' name to Bush as a potential future nominee for Justice.[1]
