Perhaps the most controversial decision made by the Court came in Bush v. Gore (2000), which ended election recounts in Florida following the presidential election of 2000, allowing George W. Bush to become the forty-third U.S. President.
Quizais a maior controversia causada polo Tribunal foi no caso Bush contra Gore (2000), baixo o cal terminouse o reconto de votos electorais en Florida logo das eleccións presidenciais do 2000, permitindo así a George W. Bush converterse no 43º Presidente dos Estados Unidos.
