RIP. This country was robbed of one of the best men ever due to the sick minds of sick people. Justice Roberts take note.

Robert Bork's deep wisdom will outlive the shallow contempt of his adversaries.

A great mind, a great jurist and a great influence on many. RIP.

May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family.

He was a good and great man, whose contribution to our legal system cannot be overestimated.

Rest In Peace, Robert Bork!

You should have been on the Supreme Court, but the left denied you that honor. For that, they should not be forgiven.

Robert Bork confirmed why I was a conservative. After reading his book, "The Tempting of America", I saw, at the same time, his brilliance, what a Supreme Court Jurist should be, and why I am a conservative.

Robert Bork was a GREAT American and a good man. Rest in Peace Mr. Bork. Thank you for your contributions to this country.

May God welcome you into Paradise, Judge.

And we thank you for what you did here and for what you tried to do here as well.

*shudder* if he had been on the court.... Obama would be replacing him!

(for the first time in my life I am glad Bork didn’t make it on the court)

May he rest in peace. We are losing a lot of great men and only the dregs seem to be left.

As a young teenager I knocked on doors with the YAF for Barry Goldwater. I have been a conservative all my life.

I did not become an activist and really get motivated until the Reagan era. We finally had a man to talk-the-talk. With the nomination of Bork, we saw the opportunity to have a Jurist enshrine the legal understanding of our Constitution and provide a sea change to our direction at the Judicial branch.

His “borking” was the vivid example of the leftist full control of the Democrat Party agenda and its total orientation against the Republic and all its structure.

I hope our legal scholars chime in and I am going to try and listen to Mark Levin tonight who should have a lot to say as I am sure RB was an influence on his younger years.

The Silver Lining?

Justice Bork will no longer have to see the continued destruction of this once-great nation.

But let us not whitewash Bork in his death: He was also a gungrabber.

Bork has denounced what he calls the "NRA view" of the Second Amendment, something he describes as the "belief that the constitution guarantees a right to Teflon-coated bullets." Instead, he has argued that the Second Amendment merely guarantees a right to participate in a government militia.[34]

Read Bork's book Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and America's Decline (New York: Regan, 1996) to find out how we got where we are today.
