The SC is bound by the Constitution, which states that a President is elected with Electoral votes, not popular votes. Well, Bill, this debate quickly gets to a dead end. Let me reply, you get a reply, and then let's put it on the back burner. Neither of are going to get anywhere rehashing the 2000 elections. My reply. This incarnation of the Supremes, in a series of 5-4 votes, has been a rabid states rights activist court. Not saying this well, but I'm in a hurry. But they reversed themselves on the proverbial dime in the Bush vs. Gore case, arguing against the actions of a state Supreme Court. So, in that case, they violated their own activist (just love to use that word with Scalia in sight) interpretations of states rights. Now, your turn.
