This is what can happen when people mix polititics with religion or at least their perception of religion.
Allie also didn't believe what I told her about the Supreme Court's decision to give Bush the election in Gore v Bush.

There is virtual unanimity among law professors and jurists, conservative as well as liberal, who have condemned this action by the Supreme Court's conservative majority. Justice Scalia's principal justification for issuing a stay on the Florida recount resumption, permitted by the Florida Supreme Court, was that the recount would "threaten irreparable harm to petitioner (Bush) ... by casting a cloud upon what he claims to be the legitimacy of his election." Scalia assumes here that Bush has won, but it is also clear that he feared that if the recount continued, the election could go to Gore. Taking issue with this hollow opinion, judicial conservative Terrance Sandlow stated, "The balance of harms so unmistakably were on the side of Gore," and further, the stay was "an unmistakable partisan decision without any foundation in law."

I hate having to prove things to people who don't care anyways. Just when you take them to the intellectual woodshed, all they do is come back and say, Prove it or Provide links.
