3 books on the 2000 election inscribed by their author to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
1. TOOBIN, JEFFREY. Too Close to Call: The Thirty-Six Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Election. New York: Random House, 2001. Publisher's cloth-backed boards, dust jacket. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's appearance marked by tabs. PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed October 2001 "To Justice Ginsburg, With respect and admiration."
2. DIONNE, E.J. and WILLIAM KRISTOL. Bush v. Gore: The Court Cases and the Commentary. Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press, 2001. Publisher's wrappers. PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed by Dionne, March 2001, to "Justice Ginsburg, with great respect, admiration, and appreciation. Happy Birthday."
3. ACKERMAN, BRUCE, ed. Bush v. Gore: The Question of Legitimacy. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2002. Publisher's paper boards, dust jacket. PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed "For Ruth, With high regard, Bruce."
Bush v. Gore is the Supreme Court decision of December 12, 2000 that settled the Presidential election recount dispute in the state of Florida, handing the state's electoral votes (and the election) to George W. Bush. Ginsburg famously dissented in the case, feeling that the court should have let the Florida State Supreme Court continue its supervision of a recount. Her opinion concludes, "In sum, the Court's conclusion that a constitutionally adequate recount is impractical is a prophecy the Court's own judgment will not allow to be tested. Such an untested prophecy should not decide the Presidency of the United States. / I dissent."
