Gore brings the user into the courtroom of the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the unprecedented events of 2000, when a vote of nine justices determined the outcome of the presidential election. This CD-ROM furnishes the complete oral and written proceedings before the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore and Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board. While viewing the transcripts of each session and images of the speakers, users hear the voices of the participants: their heated arguments, the nuances of tone in their voices, the interchanges between justices and attorneys, and the justices' comments to each other. Through this dual audio and text presentation of these historic proceedings, the tensions and emotions in the courtroom become palpable and the justices emerge as individuals passionately involved in the logic, precedents, and consequences of law in the United States. In addition to the dramatic twists and turns of the case as it was presented, the CD-ROM documents the decisions and dissents that determined its outcome. A riveting slice of history presented in an easily navigable format, Bush v. Gore provides a permanent record of events that tested the mettle not only of advocates and justices but also of American democracy itself. |
