re: #138 iceweasel

I have faith in our system, which is why I didn’t lose my shit over Roberts or Alito either. (Bork is another story, because he was a lunatic and a theocrat).

en.wikipedia.org

Quoted from Wikipedia:
“Bork is best known for his theory that the only way to reconcile the role of the judiciary in American government against what he terms the “Madisonian” or “counter-majoritarian” dilemma of the judiciary making law without popular approval is for constitutional adjudication to be guided by the framers’ original understanding of the United States Constitution. Reiterating that it is a court’s task to adjudicate and not to “legislate from the bench,” he has advocated that judges exercise restraint in deciding cases, emphasizing that the role of the courts is to frame “neutral principles” (a term borrowed from Herbert Wechsler) and not simply ad hoc pronouncements or subjective value judgments. Bork once said, “The truth is that the judge who looks outside the Constitution always looks inside himself and nowhere else.”

Please find some justification for stating “Bork was a lunatic”. I have just posted my justification for waving the B.S. flag in your general direction.
