Letters from people living outside the Chronicle's circulation area usually are not considered. The Bush brothers didn't steal the election, nor did the U.S. Supreme Court appoint George W.

Justices are human beings with political opinions.
Bias cannot be eliminated. Hopefully, the justices researched and reflected before ruling. Mr. Bush's cabinet seems to represent a spectrum of political thought. Hopefully, more citizens will take more interest in the political process. Perhaps they will become better informed, more responsible voters.
