Democrats need to get over it. When the politicians are incapable of resolving election issues, the issues are settled by judges. That's the long respected way that our Constitution and laws provide for the resolution of such issues. In fact that's the way virtually every civilized nation in the world resolves such issues. And, by the way, it wasn't a close 5-4 Supreme Court decision. It was a 7-2 vote. All but 2 of your most liberal, most loyally Democrat justices, voted for the decision. Stop whining about how those evil Republican Supreme Court justices stole the presidency for President Bush. President Bush became President because he was found to have won the office in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the US, as applied by 7 of 9 justices, including some of your very own liberal Democrats. Honestly, you Dems sound like a 14 year old child whose daddy finally took away his binkie!
