That is a stretch no matter what your politics unless you can point to
a clause in the constitution that stipulates the US Supreme Court
participation in elections. Actually it was unprecedented, which is why
it is still controversial. The court could have as easily thrown out
all the results from the counties with rigged voting and thrown the
election other way. And the same people in the news who are complaining
about the court's recent decisions as "liberal legislating from the
bench" were quite happy to be given the government by the same court.
Irony or just dishonest politics?
