My dear friend, no need to accuse me of being illiterate. I have read a few books in my day, Judge Bork's being among them. I have the utmost respect for Judge Bork, but disagree with him on some issues. I believe (correct me if I am wrong) he recently came out against military tribunals, of which I am very much in favor. Again, I believe Natural Law came into play in the judges decision, and many scholors will agree that Natural Law is a valid basis for rendering legal decisons.

The only problem with natural law is that it too is subject to mean whatever a judge says it means. I think teading the plain intention of a law from it's wording and legislative record is all a judge should consider.
