They appear to be cowards or crooks or compromised.  Cowards, crooks, or compromised seems to be the only way to explain the decision-making of the United States Supreme Court.  The Court's unwillingness to make any decisions regarding the presidential election of 2020 is a historic failure.  These last twelve months have seen the Court refuse to do its duty.  The Court refused to be a co-equal branch of the federal government.

With the Bush v. Gore of 2000, there is legal precedent.  Just twenty short years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court took Bush v.
