2. Unconstitutional behavior didn't stop GOP Supreme Court judges in 2000

when they stopped the counting of 170,000 legally cast, mostly democratic votes in Florida in order to install Bush which started this nightmare. Never mind that the constitution gives the states the authority to conduct elections and never mind that the constitution gives the U.S. House of Representatives the authority to settle disputed Presidential elections and not unelected Supreme Court judges.

I also agree with the article that Congress has been woefully absent in exercising its constitutional authority to regulate the Supreme Court as given to it by Article 3, Section 2 of the constitution.

I also further agree with this article that the media continues to be negligent in telling this important story.
