The significance of the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore was that it suspended the recounting of votes in Florida, thus indirectly giving presidency to George W. Bush.

Explanation:

Bush v. Gore was the case with which the Supreme Court of the United States decided the dispute over the presidential election of 2000. On November 8 the Florida Electoral Committee had announced the victory of Bush in the state for less than 0.5% of the votes. Gore then asked for a recount of the cards, but since the recount could not be completed within the legal limits, the lawsuit began. On December 9, the Supreme Court first stopped the recount of the votes that was taking place in Florida.

The Court, with 5 in favor and 4 against, decided that it was not possible to establish an alternative method for recounting the votes by 12 December, a time limit established by federal law. Seven of the nine judges agreed to recognize a violation of the equal protection clause in using different counting methods in different counties. Three judges also believed that the Florida Supreme Court had violated Article II, section 1, paragraph 2 of the Constitution, misinterpreting the electoral law passed by the Florida Parliament.

After the ruling, Florida's Secretary of State Katherine Harris confirmed George W. Bush's victory in Florida: the 25 great voters so obtained gave Bush, the Republican candidate, 271 great voters, one more than the 270 required to win in the Electoral College and defeating the Democratic candidate Al Gore, who obtained 266 votes (a voter from the District of Columbia abstained). The Court's decision raised many criticisms and controversies.

Iam told that hundreds if not thousands of these (armenians) were sent at once to the front ranks at the dardanelles, where death in a very short space of time is almost a certainty. the older men were then deported into the interior, while the women and children, when not carried off in an opposite direction, were left to shift for themselves as best they could. the terrible feature of this deportation up to date is that it has been carried out on such a basis as to render it practically impossible in thousands of cases that these families can ever again be reunited. not only wives and husbands, brothers and sisters, but even mothers and their little children have been dispersed in such a manner as to preclude practically all hope that they will ever see each other again. according to this excerpt, what does the author consider to be the worst part of the deportation during the armenian genocide?
