Jesse Jackson is at it again.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson yesterday predicted a "civil rights explosion" if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against Vice President Al Gore.
Mr. Jackson likened the forthcoming high court ruling on whether a full recount of Florida votes should continue to the 1960s civil rights demonstrations in Selma and Birmingham, Ala.
"All that we bled for and suffered for the last 25 years is now in the balance here today. This case is up there with the Dred Scott level of case; did the black man have a right the white was bound to respect?
"If this court rules against counting our vote, it will simply create a civil rights explosion. People will not surrender to this tyranny. We will fight back," Mr. Jackson said after attending the high-court hearing.
