RIP Judge. While I had always instinctively leaned conservative, it was not until I read Judge Bork's Slouching Towards Gomorrah in my mid-twenties, that I started to put those gut feelings into a more seriously considered philosophy and became able to articulate why I believed what I believed.

I didn't agree with all his conclusions, but even in those cases, it was because of him that I forced myself to articulate why I disagreed.

When it came to opposing abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide, there were few who could make or communicate a better case.

Slouching to Gomorrah was the first conservative book I read and gave me much to think about.
