38. You don't understand the U.S. constitution or SCOTUS history

No offense but I really don't appreciate someone from Canada who's never taken an American history class trying to impose their factually incorrect claims about the SCOTUS in an American political forum because you don't have the American history schooling that clearly explains American history and the U.S. constitution that's taught in American schools. You clearly don't know the real facts of what has happened with the SCOTUS throughout its history and it shows with your replies... Again, the U.S. constitution gives the elected U.S. House of Repre3sentatives the authority to settle a disputed Presidential election NOT 5 unelected SCOTUS judges. Again, never before 2000 had the SCOTUS interfered in a disputed U.S. Presidential election because doing so was unconstitutional. You further don't understand that the Roberts 6 would not now exist if it wasn't for the Rehnquist 5's shredding of the U.S. constitution with their unconstitutional Bush vs Gore ruling in 2000 in order to stop the legal Florida vote count and install Bush against the will of the people. It was the Rehnquist 5 appointed Bush who then appointed 2 of the Roberts 6, Roberts and Alito. Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett were appointed by Trump because of their involvement on the Bush side of the unconstitutional Bush vs Gore ruling and Thomas was also part of the Rehnquist 5.Again, the current Roberts6 would not exist without the Rehnquist 5. It's time for you to stop ignoring this fact.
