    Tissu d'approximations.

    Les membres de la cour suprême sont nommés à vie par les présidents successifs, aucun n'a le pouvoir de tous les dégager pour y mettre des alliés politiques.

    A titre d'information, voilà sa composition en 1998, donc deux ans avant l'élection de Bush : (source http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/supreme_court.htm(...))

    Tu aurais dû donc écrire : la Cour Suprême des USA, composée aux 2/9 de juges nommés par Bush Senior, a tranché en 2000 le litige électoral Bush Jr/Gore.

    Mais ça allait effectivement plus vite d'écrire bush jr <= cour supreme <= bush senior. En plus tu t'es fait plusser. Que veut le peuple ?
