Nope, just the opposite. I say the US SC did not have jurisdiction to rule as they did this time.

When the US SC sent the FSc's previous ruling back down they said that the Florida court should rely only on laws made by the Legislature in making their decisions in this matter. So this time the FSC did exactly that and the US SC came up with a different reason to make a ruling that wasn't in line with Florida's. That is enough to convince me that the US SC is not impartial. It looked to me like the US SC said that the FSC should have made some rules as to what a vote on those uncounted ballots would look like, but if they had the US SC would have said they did the same thing wrong again.
