I am not Catholic but I take an interest when the so-called Pope Francis makes pronouncements that aren't even remotely Christian, like promoting homosexual unions in the church. I mean you can be gay, but don't pretend it is consistent with the Bible. Please find some other religion.

Commie Popie Frankie has already had almost as long as the Fraud had in office, to clean house and protect his fraudulent papacy.
Since 2013, CPF has been deceiving the world in his current role.

Don’t get too excited, most of the Cardinals who would select the next Pope were elevated by Pope Francis.

The present pope of the Catholic Church is Pope Benedict. HE STILL BELIEVES HE HAS THE CHARISMS OF THE PAPACY. Therefore, there are limited possibilities:
1) Pope Benedict is wrong; he does not have charisms of the papacy. But if this is true, then he has mistakenly (not willingly) renounced the papacy. Since a pope must WILLINGLY renounces the papacy, this is a self-contradicting notion.
2) Pope Benedict has expressed himself poorly; he intended to relinquish the charisms of the papacy despite his later statements.
3) Both Pope Benedict and Pope Francis are popes. This seems impossible.
4) Pope Francis was invalidly elevated. This has happened before, and therefore seems imminently possible.
Since only #2 and #4 are likely possible, and the truthfulness of #2 is unclear, #4 must be regarded as possible. In that case, we must look to the fruits, wherein we find that Pope Francis has sown utterly astounding moral confusion. While he has not directly invoked his infallibility to unambiguously proclaim heresy, he has plainly and unmistakably led anyone who follow him as a sheep follows a shepherd into heresy.

Yes. And it's possible to overturn a SCOTUS decision too. You just need to pass a constitutional amendment by getting two thirds of the members of the house and senate to agree on it and then three fourths of the states to approve it. Which is the same as to say 'sure, it could happen but it will not any time in the foreseeable future'.
As an aside: this is why the SCOTUS justices are our real overlords. They have life tenure, they can override the constitution on a whim, and it's virtually impossible to override them.

then how do they explain that Clement II is regarded by all subsequent Popes as canonically elected?
In my volume "The Popes: A Concise Biography", it was maintained that even though Benedict IX had also resigned himself, and one could (and perhaps should) take the resignation at face value, opening the door for a new pope.
