TP, at least one reason I believe the US Supreme Court made sure that Bush
would win is because they want their Conservative agenda to prevail. That
agenda usually expands the power of states against Congress, limits individual
rights and increase the Supreme Court's own power as they visibly demonstrated
to the nation in the 2000 Election when they stopped the Florida recount.

The Rehnquist and Scalia Court stand in contrast to the Warren Court where
individual rights and civil liberties were strengthened..

Rehnquist and O'Connor may retire, two other conservative judges that
stopped the Florida recount. And they want to make sure that Bush replaces
them with Conservatives. Thomas also voted to stop the recount, but I imagine
he plans to be around for awhile.
