And Bork would leave it up to the states to decide. He never even hinted at or did anything thing to cause a reasonable person to think that he would directly make abortion illegal. So then, he's not against abortions in the first trimester? Your question has very little to do with my statement. I'm not 100% sure what he is personally against, but his legal opinion is that according to the constitution abortion is properly a matter for the states to decide. He would not pass a ruling that says that abortion is somehow unconstitutional, he is generally against such legislating from the bench. "Myth: Affirmative action means quotas" huppi.com Affirmitive action is sometimes direct and obvious quotas, but it is usually more subtle quotas. A goal to have a certain % of each race or of one race combined with means to meet that goal amounts to a quota. On rare occations you can have something called affirmitive action without having quotas. This would be for example when you decide you want more black students (or employees or whatever) and you make a bigger effort to recruit them but you don't discriminate against people who aren't black (or whatever race or other group you are trying to increase). Again I ask, is this the best the GOP has to offer for one of the most important positions in our country? Bork is close to the best anyone has to offer. He was one of the most qualified candidates for the SC in the 20th century, and probably is the most qualifed person available today who is not already on the court. If you are refering to Pickering he doesn't have Bork's level of experience or other qualifications but he isn't being nominated for the SC and as far as I can tell (I know less about him then Bork) he is very qualified.
