Goodby to Robert Bork...Defender of the Constitution


We lost a staunch defender of the Constitution this week, Robert Bork.  A quote from him that holds much truth:

“Once the justices depart, as most of them have, from the original understanding of the principles of the Constitution, they lack any guidance other than their own attempts at moral philosophy, a task for which they have not even minimal skills. Yet when it rules in the name of the Constitution, whether it rules truly or not, the Court is the most powerful branch of government in domestic policy. The combination of absolute power, disdain for the historic Constitution, and philosophical incompetence is lethal.”
