In the 1991 World Series, the Minnesota Twins won 4 games to 3. Would Sandy O’Conner have stepped in to change the rules and say the Atlanta Braves “really won” because they scored 29 runs, while the Twins only scored 24 runs? Or would she have ruled that the Series should be settled under the rules of the game as agreed before they played? My guess: Sandy’s turned even more liberal - she would overturn the World Series too if enough people whined at her. Liberals disgust me. Without the rule of law, even America would turn into an ugly place, and they are trying that as an experiment.

Even though the World Series is not too good of analogy to a presidential election contest, it's ironic that you mentioned Minnesota in the same breath as Bush v. Gore.

Brings to mind the seemingly endless Franken v. Coleman U. S. Senate race recount in Minnesota in 2008. In that one, the initial results (a narrow Coleman win) were turned upside down after repeated selected recounts under aegis of Democrat state officials, with the alleged Franken victory in the recounts upheld by the 'Rat majority state Supreme Court. It certainly seems that partisan politics trumped the rule of law there, and without any SCOTUS intervention, Coleman stood exactly where Bush might have stood had the SCOTUS not intervened and let the FL Supreme Court play it its recount games in 2000. (Why Coleman didn't seek SCOTUS intervention is beyond me.)
