The Supreme Court is a highly political body. It sets policy. It uses the concept of stare decisis to rationalize whatever it does, but it is guided by the political and social beliefs and commitments of its members. That's why we have had such a terrible Supreme Court for so many years, particularly the past ten. The GOP took over and has ruled it like one would expect such appointees to rule.
The stealing of the election in 2000 was purely political. The majority had never voted for such a position before, because they didn't believe in such interventions in state rights, until the GOP needed them to steal the election.
