Bork on Miers

Robert Bork is very disppointed with the Miers nomination. Here's the most important thing he told Tucker Carlson*:

But the other level is more worrisome, in a way: it’s kind of a slap in the face to the conservatives who’ve been building up a conservative legal movement for the last 20 years. There’s all kinds of people, now, on the federal bench and some in the law schools who have worked out consistent philosophies of sticking with the original principles of the Constitution. And all of those people have been overlooked. And I think one of the messages here is, don’t write, don’t say anything controversial before you’re nominated.

"Bork Calls Miers Nomination a 'Disaster'"

*Reading transcripts of his show is 100 times better than watching. Especially at the end when he loosens the bow tie and tries to "kick back."
