[Richard Kimball]

Ken & tpaine,
First, I have no doubt that both of you have read the book, and I noted that Bork was not popular with many Freepers. His book, though, includes a very good history for the layman of judicial activism. I have always found it odd, that as a proponent of "original intent", he could take the stand he does on the 2nd. I wasn't implying that I agree with all of his stands, simply that his book is a good read.

To my mind Bork has the same misconception of original intent that many conservative FReepers do..

He, and they, somehow truly believe that 'legally' empowered groups can over-regulate, even prohibit, an individuals private, nonviolent, consensual actions & possessions.

They base this 'community power' on majority rule doctrine, and ignore our obvious individual rights to life, liberty & property under the rule of constitutional law.
