There is an obvious disparity in the two remarks, the first written and the second verbal. Clearly, by his written statement Bork does have an understanding of the meaning of the ninth amendment. Why his verbal statement would maintain the opposite is anyone's guess.

I agree with Bork that the ninth amendment does NOT mean that there are limitless rights which go beyond what the Constitution specifies. And I do not believe according to the Constitution, for instance, that one has a right to abortion, sodomy, homosexual marriage, or the use of illicit drugs for instance (and the list goes on and on), like so many libertarians do, and that does not mean that myself or anyone else who believes thusly, is authoritarian, including Judge Bork. Sorry.

I will repeat, if Judge Bork is authoritarian, so are the founding fathers.

I define an authoritarian as someone who asks: "Have the people been granted this right?" I define a libertarian as someone who asks: "Has the government been granted this power?"

You know who you are.
