The Bork quote got me thinking.
Specifically, it seems the quote belies the radical agenda of the religious right because if there is nothing "the people" can do about a supreme court ruling, beyond amendment of the constitution, then it seems as if Bork is admitting that his beliefs don't have the political support for amendment. In a 50 percent plus 1 democracy, where ideas must be widely held to gain the necessary support, failing to get such support means the idea isn't widely held.
The only conclusion? That Bork and his friends are all in a minority of people who want such interferences with liberty like criminalizing homosexuality.
Food for thought.
Also, where is that cross blogged items we discussed.
