Are you sure you don't mean Florida? After all who allowed the incompetent imbecile to steal the presidency in 2000.
Justices Rehnquist, O'Connor, Kennedy, Scalia, and Thomas
I don't recall the SCOTUS having the authority to elect a president.
Congress legislate the laws. The Constitution, congress and state legislators have established the election process by law. That is the Legislators job. The Voters vote. Laws are executed by the executive branch( president ) Voters vote, Legislator legislate (make laws) and when a disputes or a misunderstandings arise, there has to be a mediators; that is the function of the Judiciary. In 2000 in the Florida elections, th voters voted. Their was questions about the outcome, a dispute. The Judiciary interpreted election results. The SCOTUS did not elect The President, the voters and the electoral college elected the POTUS.
When something does not turn out the way some want, they yell Fraud, cheating, and many other disparaging remarks. The system worked the way it is supposed to settle disputes the Presidency and administration changed without a coup’d’etat . It was 12 years ago Two more presidential elections and another change of administrations without violence but with controversy an again the system resolved disputes of birth certificates , qualification etc. But agin some yell fraud, cheat, etc. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." (from a House of Commons speech on Nov. 11, 1947)Churchhill had defeated in a democratic election
SCOTUS overturned the Florida Supreme Court and by a 5-4 majority stopped the recount in heavily Democratic Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties before it was finished. A later recount by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago showed that Gore actually won by between 107-115 votes, but SCOTUS had already appointed Bush POTUS.
"The genius of the Constitution rests not in any static meaning it might have had in a world that is dead and gone, but in the adaptability of its great principles to cope with current problems and current needs." -- Justice William Brennan: Speech to the Text and Teaching Symposium at Georgetown University,(October 12, 1985)

My concern is that Wingoism on the Right wants to turn this nation into the one they created in Iraq.
Iraq has single payer health care.
I know; I run that by the Wingos and they are struck, dumb: Sort of the usual, de rigeur, quotidian mode de vie of Wingoism, just sayin'.
A conservative is someone who believes that firefighters, teachers, and police officers are overpaid.
"Wesley told the early Methodists to gain all they could and save all they could so that they could give all they could. It means that I consider my money to belong to God and I see myself as one of the hungry people who needs to get fed with God’s money. If I really have put all my trust in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord, then nothing I have is really my own anymore."
Republicans experience suffering the way they experience all their virtues, i.e. vicariously.
According to "just war" standards of Christian theology, if Saddam Hussein killed 30,000 Iraqis, and the Iraq War killed 120,00, how was the War "just"?

I am a Humanist. I believe in a rational philosophy of life, informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by a desire to do good for its own sake and not by an expectation of a reward or fear of punishment in an afterlife.

Republicon legislatures in several states have passed voter ID laws that disenfranchise many minority, elderly, and student voters allegedly to prevent "rampant" voter fraud.....
That's why they are trying to get these laws passed. Most of those groups you mentioned just happen to vote Democratic most of the time. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans. The easiest way for Republicans to win is to make it hard for Democrats to vote. A democracy is the LAST thing Republicans want.

If a Republican did it, and he invokes the Lord, just know this--whether it's war, voter fraud, or adultery, "The Lord is on my side, and that's all you need to know."
The only Lord on the side of the Republicons is the Lord of the Flies.
The only lord on the side of the Democrats is The Village Idiot.
