The problem is that once people think that a decision is going to result in a president they tend to bring up a load of annoying side issues.

There was a series of high-profile court cases in the late part of the year 2000 that did have the effect of resulting in a president (some say the wrong one), but most legal cases only result in a "precedent" instead.
