Redistricting plaintiffs before the Supreme Court...
A birther and a Christian kook who thinks the universe goes around the Earth. 
The Craziest Thing About This Supreme Court Case Isn't That One Plaintiff Believes Unicorns Are Real
Inside the redistricting challenge that could upend the political map.
Ed Pfenninger, has expressed some equally eyebrow-raising views. A Christian fundamentalist who works as a security guard in Porter, Texas, Pfenninger operates a YouTube channel where he's posted hours of videos of himself expounding on his beliefs. For instance, he's described the Catholic Church as "the Mother of Harlots." He's also said that Jews are "enemies of the cross," and that God created Adolf Hitler and the Holocaust because he "wanted the Jews back into the Land." Pfenninger also cites the Bible to justify his belief that women with short hair are somehow shameful.
Pfenninger has scorned science and claimed that "geocentricity"—the medieval belief that the Earth is the center of the universe—"is a Bible fact. It its not theory…the earth is standing still in the middle of the universe." The notion that the Earth revolves around the sun, according to Pfenninger, "is part of the Copernican revolution, which is anti-Biblical, and in fact led to the acceptance of evolution. Christians will fight against evolution but you've got to go a little further back and fight against the root of evolution, which is the heliocentric movement."
And then there's the unicorn, which appears repeatedly in Pfenninger's online posts. Arguing with a commenter to one of his YouTube videos, Pfenninger wrote in 2013 that the "unicorn was a real creature known for it's [sic] great strength, and is also referred to in ancient literature." Pfenninger did not respond to an email requesting comment.
