re: #485 KGxvi

Keep in mind that Bork, that great conservative legal mind that he supposedly was, called the Ninth Amendment an “inkblot upon the Constitution” in explaining he had no idea what it meant.

Well it figures that individual rights would be a foreign concept to an asshole like Bork. Really as I said, Reagan either was a complete idiot and had no idea how extreme this guy was or they went with him anyhow. Obama’s not going to pick the left equivalent of Bork, hell he probably won’t given the Senate’s construction even pick an equivalent of Kagan or Sotoaymor but someone more close to Kennedy. But as I’ve said in the past regarding this, I feel strongly that this President understood the way the Constitution and law better than Ronald Reagan ever did.
