*sigh*

that was Bork's seat on the SCOTUS.

Bork was/is an outright statist. I don't exaggerate much when I say that he never met a law passed by a legilature that he didn't like. I've heard him and read his writings, and this is not a pro-gun judge. Frankly, I'm not unhappy that he didn't get to the Court.

I am reading the majority opinion again, and I think it is a bigger win than we at first thought.

EG, Scalia argues that just as you can not restrict keep, you can not restrict bear (open carry).

Also, I don’t think that I have ever seen one justice refer to another as “mad as a hatter” before.

Wow.

Ok, I’m game, what justice, current or otherwise, would vote the closest to Borks voting pattern?

Yes, I also think that Mr. Bork would have voted with the four dissenting judges.
