Robert Bork: Sotomayor Unqualified, Isn't 'Entirely Governed by Law'

Thank you Judge Bork, excellent
I have said it on FR many many times: SCOTUS is job #1 and to the extent GWB wasted political capital on Iraq and “war on terror” cost R’s the last election is a tragedy of the first order
yes I got flamed on FR for these comments but I repeat nutty muslims 5000 miles from us have done far last damage to this country compared to what the Libtards have done, so well outlined by the Judge here.

He rightly opposes the application of the Bill of Rights to the states, and he long ago criticized the manner in which Scotus “incorporated” the BOR through the 14th Amendment’s right of due process.

Each of our fifty states have republican governments. If their people do not wish to recognize our God given rights, that is their problem.

It is a pity he does not sit on the Supreme Court.

Senator Sessions email bounced on me anybody have a correct one?
Here is the one I used: senator@sessions.senate.gov

Did he give any indication how he was going to vote?

Bork’s problem was two-fold.

One, he was entirely too forward and open in his nomination hearings. He answered the questions in a fortright manner. The liberals (Leahy, Kennedy, etc) were already suspicious of him and used a number of his statements against him. By saying that, I mean to say that his confirmation hearing remarks were deliberately taken out of context.

Two, NARAL, which carried (and still carries) considerable clout amongt Dems in the Senate was 100% convinced that Bork was gonna vote to over-turn Roe v Wade. I’m not sure what they based that on. I don’t recall Bork ever saying that he would vote that way. I believe that they took some of his previous writings in an out of cntext manner too.

There has been a long-term consequence of the savaging of Robert Bork back in ‘87. Virtually, every nominee (since then) has been evasive and virtually unresponsive when faced with a question regarding their legal philosophy. The most recent two nominees (Roberts and Sotomayor) have proved that very well. In short, it is impossible to get a feel anymore for where a nominee stands of many issues.
