I think it might be better to ask if the Supreme Court should have taken Bush v. Gore.

Please prove that Gore won Florida because every credible recount I read in the places GORE chose to selectively recount (again, only in counties he had a chance of winning - I guess every other Floridian's vote was not worth recounting ) indicates he did not. Moreover, once the USSC determines something, that is it. That is the way it is - period - end of discussion. I mean if it is not, then Roe has no application just because someone may not agree with it a la the Bush/Gore decision

BUT - let's say the Ct. determines it for Kerry this time under the same set of facts. Will the D's say Oh No No No No No - the USSC has no right to det. this, etc., blah blah blah



But, I digress, let's just assume W wins the popular vote and Kerry gets the electoral vote. Many people said that was unfair. Would those same people still say it is unfair?
