We do know that Gore would have been president in the absence of a corrupt judiciary.

Our corrupt judiciary allowed all of the things you mentioned to happen.

How do we know that? We don't know what judicial appointments would have been made, we can only guess and assume they would have been better.
Gore won in Florida after the votes were counted, but Bush got the electoral college votes.

No honest judge would rule with the majority of the current supreme court.

Sure, I get that. But how does that allow us to know how the last 20ish years would have played out? And how does that let us know as a fact that it would have been better (that's where this thread started)?
