No, we got them because an unelected SCOTUS gave it to them by stopping a complete recount of the state, which independent research shows actually elected Gore despite all the voter-roll purging and other election irregularities.

No, that's false. The post-election studies showed that under the standards advocated by the Gore campaign, Bush would have won by a greater margin. It is only if overvotes were included, something that nobody was advocating (the rules clearly state that overvotes disqualify a ballot), could Gore have been the winner.
