Possum: One of the Judicial Branch's roles is to interpert law, including Constitutional law. The Supreme Court is the highest authority of the Judicial Branch, and has the final say. The decision the Supreme Court made in the 2000 election was on a case brought to them (they didn't abitrarily step in - they were asked to make a decision, and accepted the case) on interpertation of Floridian and Federal election law. They decided the election in the same sense that the referees decide who wins in particularly close games.
Ah, but the truth mars the nice conspiracy theory!

This thing? http://www.boltlightningprotection.c...raday_Cage.htm

Problem: The part of the head not protected would allow signals in. On the other hand, same problem with lead hat. Full-body lead/Faraday suit?

Narf: Yeah, that thing. It doesn't have to be perfect, just sufficent to protect from the particular thing you are worried about. If the particular things you are worried about are orbital mind control masers, a tin-foil hat with a metallic chin-strap will suffice as long as you remain upright.
