23. GOP SCOTUS "equal protection" claim is a fraud!

The GOP SCOTUS shredded the equal protection claim with their anti-democracy, unconstitutional Bush vs Gore ruling. There are in fact 10,000 absentee ballots that the counting machines couldn't read that were hand duplicated and counted and are in the Jeb/Harris fraudulent Florida vote total. The only media outlet to ever report this fact was the Orlando Sentinel on 5/7/01 with the article, "Mangled ballots resurrected". Most of these absentee ballots are located in the most heavily republican voting counties in Florida and they favored Bush by more than 2 to 1. Florida law in 2000 allowed for the hand duplication and counting of ballots that the counting machines couldn't read as a remedy for making sure that all of the votes were counted. The law required the county election supervisors to keep detailed records of every ballot that was hand duplicated and counted This law applied to all ballots that the counting machines couldn't read and not just absentee ballots in heavily republican voting counties. These republican ballots that the counting machines couldn't read were clearly counted and treated vastly differently than the ballots that the counting machines couldn't read in the heavily democratic voting counties that were not counted because the GOP SCOTUS stopped the legal vote count. It's the GOP SCOTUS who blatantly violated the equal protection clause in order to install their personally preferred candidate in the White House.
The GOP SCOTUS Bush vs Gore decision represents judicial activism and a shredding of the U.S. constitution at its worst. It ignores the first 3 words, "we the people" The U.S. constitution does not give the unelected SCOTUS the authority to settle a disputed Presidential election. The U.S. constitution gives the elected U.S. House of Representatives the authority to settle a disputed Presidential election. In 2013, O'Connor finally admitted that the SCOTUS should never have taken the case, (ya think?) and Scalia has since called the decision, "shit", his word not mine even though I agree with the description.
The insurrection stands on the shoulders of the GOP Brooks Brothers riot that attacked Government Center in Miami on 11/22/00. The GOP SCOTUS claiming that they have the right to take away the people's right to vote smells of the radical, anti-democracy independent state legislature theory where the state legislature can decide elections without judicial review that 3 of the GOP SCOTUS judges supported in 2000 and that also reared its anti-democracy head again in the Moore vs Harper SCOTUS ruling in 2023 where the current radical GOP SCOTUS rejected it for now but made clear that they would interfere in future elections if they so decided.
