I think Bork is right. The issue for conservatives is whether Roberts has the guts to overturn bad precedents, and the judicial philosophy that would allow him to justify it.
GREGORY: When you read, in the run-up to the nomination of Judge Roberts, the shadow of Robert Bork over the process, do you view that now as a helpful thing or an unhelpful thing to the process now?The Court is the last place the Dims can hope to impose any of their radical agenda. If they lose that, they lose power completely, perhaps for decades to come.BORK: The process has become thoroughly corrupt, because its become politicized.
Of course, the Supreme Court invited that. The Supreme Court has gone off outside the actual Constitution; the majority of them have, outside the actual Constitution to make essentially political and cultural decisions. Now, once you do that, once you make yourself a political institution, youre going to have a political fight over it, to get control of it.
