Pray tell, does the popular vote elect the President?

Yup, and it was decided by the courts. You know, that Rule of Law thing you favor only when you side wins?

If you can show me a line in the Supreme Court ruling that says "We hereby appoint Bush President", I'll send you $100.

No, I am operating in reality - you should try it some time.
Try facing up to it, Sam - the 2000 Presidential Election was contested, and numerous court actions ensued.
At the end of that road, the United States Supreme Court - which you might have heard is the highest court in the land - ruled on the matters of law controlling the Florida recount.
But since you didn't like their ruling, you apparently don't feel bound by the Court's verdict, instead continuing to advance the incorrect claim that Gore won.
Gore didn't win.
If you actually respected the rule of law, you'd understand that.
