After the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that that recount was unconstitutional, and 5-4 that there wasnt enough time to conduct a proper recount, shouldnt florida electors have been contested and decided by congress on how to resolve that dispute.  In 1876 there were states in dispute like florida was in 2000 and congress decided to resolve it. Shouldnt the same thing have happened in 2000(as the court didnt rule bush won, it just ruled florida didnt have enough time for a recount) and the house and senate should have decided who should have been president.
