Oh. Oops.
Newsday.com - AP WashingtonU.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said he wasn't sure he was being truly impartial when the high court was asked to settle the disputed 2000 presidential vote in Florida.
Breyer -- named to the court 10 years ago by President Clinton -- was one of the dissenting votes in the 5-4 decision that canceled a controversial recount in Florida, sending Republican George W. Bush to the White House instead of Democrat Al Gore.
'I had to ask myself would I vote the same way if the names were reversed,' Breyer said Saturday at Stanford University Law School. 'I said 'yes.' But I'll never know for sure -- because people are great self-kidders -- if I reached the truthful answer.'
