All you are doing is throwing insults rather than showcase examples.
To: Stellar Dendrite
For the most part, he is exactly right.
Thoughtful article by Judge Bork as well as a clever title.

It's rather sad seeing Bork make statements of this type.

I'd sooner not slouch towards gun grabbing, thank you very much. Bork has really said "up yours" to GOA and NRA. Miers probably never will.

The one who got Borked is now borking, can you see the hypocrisy ?Can you see the difference between a judge with the qualifications of Bork and a crony hanger-on like Miers? Better yet, can you see the difference between a great conservative President like Reagan and a President who feints right but governs left? "Hypocrisy"...

Oh yes, Bork is not ignorant, just cynical. And his bromide sucks. It has no redeeming social value. That is my call. Frankly, your call sucks.
Originalist a buzz term? Surely you can do better than that. I wont hold my breath though. I'm supporting Miers, but I would not begin to put forth such an embarrassing argument as yours.

Very harsh indeed. Robert Bork is right. He knows what superior judicial intellectualism and scholarship are.

To: beckett
I prefer one simple Justice who knows the difference between right and wrong and applies it to a myriad of intellectual giants who force sodomy, pornography, abortion, illegal aliens, unjust eminent domain seizures, unjust restriction of our right to keep and bear arms, and absurd restrictions against G-d and the Ten Commandments from our institutions.
Your mental giants have given us all these abominations.

To: Pukin Dog
That is a rather generalized rebuttal. Can you find a way to cut to the bone and cut off an artery somewhere? Otherwise, the wound looks to me to be rather subcutaneous.

I just can't get over how the people opposing this nomination, to the last person, are elitists, sexists, washed up, hysterical, shrill, bitter, traitors to the cause, and etc. You'd think if there was a reasonable way to be in opposition you people would have found it by now. /irony

You know, I was watching the Best of the Muppet Show, with George Burns, Dom Deloise, and Bob Hope. It appears a person of Swedish extraction wrote them, and voiced concern that the Swedish Chef didn't utter anything resembling Swedish.
Mores the pity..
Swedish Chef: "Goot Mornink, today Ve make de Squirley Stu!" Here Ve have the Stew, and here ve hav the Boom-Boom.
"Here, Squirle, Squirle, Squirle..."

My comment was about the article he wrote.
I know little about his "gungrabbing" to comment on that point, and will have to do some research to understand the controversy about it.

"What a disgrace this nomination-process loser Mr. Bork has become. He wants nothing more than somebody else to join him in the ranks of those who couldn't get confirmed."You don't seriously believe the above is the reason for Bork's criticism of the Mier's pick, do you?

It would seem as it has been described, the obsessive tendency of Miss Miers to reveal little about herself and her opinions, stunted the development of the same opinions as well as her thought processes and writing skills.

Ronald Reagan was not only an avowed Liberal most of his life, a Union LEADER, but even as president, he was still lauding FDR.
You have no idea what Harriet Miers is and is not. All you have are bits and pieces, which may or may not be true, stated by talking heads/pundits/and a bunch of FREEPERS, who know diddlely squat.
Justice Thomas had as thin a paper trail, when nominated.
The late Chief Justice Rehnquist was never a judge, prior to his nomination.
On paper, Souter looked about as far right wing as one could be.
