Why do we treat the Bush "Supreme" Court as if it were legitimate?

The only reason Roberts and Alito are on the Court voting the way that they do is that the Republicans stole the election in Florida 2000, when Scalia wrote Bush v. Gore so he could get more of his soul-mates on the bench.
So why do we treat a Court that exists only because of a stolen election as legitimate? All of the Bush Court's decisions, every single one of them, are fruit of the poisonous tree of election theft.
You'd think Roberts would be following the election returns. But no; he's a movement Conservative, and he'll continue doing what he does until he's stopped.

We treat them as legitimate because to do otherwise would
expose our collective cowardice.
The only fitting response to w's inauguration would've been for about 20 million of us to publicly announce a target date, march on DC, and bullrush the White House.
