[Satire] SCOTUS overturns Bush v. Gore

In one of the Onion's better spoofs in recent memory, they paint a fanciful picture of the Supreme Court of the United States overturning Bush v. Gore, the case that handed George W. Bush victory in the 2000 Presidential Election.

There's a lot to be laughed at in this article, but I think my favourite part is the fake Republican anger:

Although the president has already instituted a number of impressive
environmental initiatives, he has drawn criticism from Republicans who claim
that he is completely unprepared to deal with the current national climate.

"Throughout the entirety of his 2000 campaign, never once did Gore mention
the tragedy of 9/11, or our conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan," Sen. Arlen
Specter (R-PA) said. "Does he not care about our national security? Does Al Gore
plan to ignore the needs of our brave men and women on the ground? What kind of
world does Al Gore think we still live in?"

Now if only SCOTUS would make a definitive ruling on that pesky gay marriage issue, they may make themselves more relevant.
