(113 posts)Never before 2000 had the SCOTUS interfered in a disputed U. S. Presidential election. The SCOTUS never interfered in the disputed U.S. Presidential elections of 1824 and 1876. The reason for this is the fact that the U.S. constitution gives the elected U.S. House of Representatives the authority to settle a disputed Presidential election and not 5 unelected SCOTUS judges. This fact alone is why the Bush vs Gore ruling is blatantly unconstitutional. I recommend that you google the U.S. constitution to see this fact for yourself. I would also suggest that you look at where the U.S. constitution gives the states the authority to run elections. That's the 2nd reason the Bush vs Gore ruling is unconstitutional. I learned these facts in American history class.
