Robert Bork, what a venal, hateful man.
As bad as Thomas has been, Bork might have been worse.
He is now Mitts judicial adviser.

1. one of his worst quotes
"Women are a majority of the population now—a majority in university classrooms and a majority in all kinds of contexts. It seems to me silly to say, ‘Gee, they’re discriminated against and we need to do something about it.’ They aren’t discriminated against anymore.”

Feminists, you now have a target.

2. I was surprised to see
that Bork no longer sports that billy-goat beard, although I wouldn't be surprised if he still has cloven hooves.

3. He seems to have become just another
intellectually lightweight Republican hack. Using the same discredited RW talking points.

4. heard him on local radio several years ago. He wanted the right to
decide what music and movies we could listen to. Apparently he thought that was appropriate for courts to decide on. I think he is a dictator in disguise.

5. I will always love how the process of shouting him down and blocking him from nomination was called
"Borking". That anyone would ask his advice speaks volumes about those asking.

6. You realize this makes him the first choice for the Supreme Court
under hypothetical President Romney...

8. Nah
He's like 80. RWs like them young, so they can screw with us for a long time.
He will be on the selection committee though.
