A liberal scj, or senator or congressman will always sway towards liberal ideals, a conservative towards conservative, regardless of "data." The data supports this.
To believe that empirical data sways people beyond their beliefs is to believe in make believe and unicorns. It simply isn't the case in the real world. It isn't the case in this thread. And it won't ever be the case in the future. Impartiality and subjectivity are myths. Otherwise the election of people would make little difference except in their intelligence, because they would all be impartial. Obviously not the case.
And to Matt S. I seem to remember E. Gonzalez' father was a violent abuser- a large part of why the mother was fleeing. A cage? No. But maybe much worse.
