Legal scholars and the four dissenting justices have said the Supreme Court should have declined to jump into the case in the first place.

I had not heard that there were four votes not to hear the case.

They were of course correct.

The chusing of electors for President and Vice-President from Florida was and is a nonjusticeable political question (if it isn't, then there are no political questions at all).

Our Constitution provides clear and unambiguous methods for resolving disputes of this kind, which should have been used.

Surely you're not suggesting that such matters are ENTIRELY political questions, no matter the constitutional issue. Do you seriously believe, for example, that a state could have a rule where electors were decided by race?
