Description

Here is the Bench Opinion in George W. Bush, et al., Petitioners v. Albert Gore, Jr., et al.  This is the case that resolved the dispute surrounding the 2000 Presidential election, and it includes the majority and dissenting opinions.  It is a rare copy and a unique opportunity to own a piece of history.
When the Court announces a decision, it immediately releases it as a Bench Opinion.  This is one of a very limited number of copies made available to the press and public that historic night.  These versions are seen as "perishable" because a few days later, the Court prints another version -- the Slip Opinion --  which might include corrections not found in the original Bench Opinion.  Hundreds of copies of the Slip Opinion are printed--a near-final draft form, or second version, reflecting the substance of the Court's decision but subject to further editing to correct typos and other minor errors.
This copy is in original and mint condition--clean and without any marks.
