Why did the Sup. Ct. intercede in a national election.......its outside their jurisdiction?

Your remark is irrelevent in this context, I'm not sure why you bring this up. However, since you brought it up, the US Supreme Court wasn't doing anything unusual -- it granted cert in an appeal from a lower court. Happens all the time.


Uh-uh! Mr. Bush who ran on a states' rights platform went running to the Sup. Ct. and asked for their help when the state supreme court didn't vote his way.

Their election intercession notwithstanding, the normal role of the Court is to review cases on which lower courts have ruled. Apparently, no one has brought a case against Congress attacking their abdication of responsibilities.

Don't you think it is strange that if presidents are going to war without the appropriate congressional approval no one has seen fit to bring suit on constitutional grounds? I think it is a clear indication that NOBODY with standing agrees with you on this issue...


Not at all......, many issues that should be brought in front of the courts have not been. However, it probably will be after this war.
