Bork Endorses Romney
Yesterday, Judge Robert Bork, one of America’s foremost conservative jurists, endorsed the candidacy of Governor Mitt Romney for President.
No other candidate will do more to advance the conservative judicial movement than Governor Mitt Romney. He knows firsthand how the judicial branch can profoundly affect the future course of a state and a nation. I greatly admired his leadership in Massachusetts in the way that he responded to the activist court’s ruling legalizing same-sex ‘marriage.’ His leadership on the issue has served as a model to the nation on how to respect all of our citizens while respecting the rule of law at the same time.”
Our next President may be called upon to make more than one Supreme Court nomination, and Governor Romney is committed to nominating judges who take their oath of office seriously and respect the rule of law in our nation. I also support Governor Romney because of his character, his integrity and his stands on the major issues facing the United States.
The Bork endorsement is a huge coup for the Romney campaign. In backing Romney, Judge Bork reminds GOP voters of Romney’s action in response to the Massachusetts state Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, and Romney’s commitment to nominate similarly conservative judges and justices if elected.

The truth will set them free…
Some people don’t realize that honest political discussion contains both the positives and negatives of all the players involved.
I didn’t know that being a Nixon hatchet man qualified anybody for anything.
Opps my bad, you are taking about gops.
What ever became of that Nixon fella anyway?

“Judith Levine, writing in The Village Voice, offered support for these ideas in an article titled “Stop the Wedding: Why Gay Marriage Isn’t Radical Enough.” She wrote, “Because American marriage is inextricable from Christianity, it admits participants as Noah let animals on the ark. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In 1972 the National Coalition of Gay Organizations demanded the ‘repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers.’ Group marriage could comprise any combination of genders.”
Stanley Kurtz, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, summed up the situation in a recent Weekly Standard article. He noted that if gay marriage is legalized, “marriage will be transformed into a variety of relationship contracts, linking two, three or more individuals (however weakly or temporarily) in every conceivable combination of male and female … the bottom of this slope is visible from where we now stand.”
We must all become soberly aware of a deeply disturbing reality: The homosexual agenda is not marriage for gays. It is marriage for no one. And despite what you read or see in the media, it is definitely not monogamous.
What will happen sociologically if marriage becomes anything or everything or nothing? The short answer is that the State will lose its compelling interest in marital relationships altogether. After marriage has been redefined, divorces will be obtained instantly, will not involve a court, and will take on the status of a driver’s license or a hunting permit. With the family out of the way, all rights and privileges of marriage will accrue to gay and lesbian partners without the legal entanglements and commitments heretofore associated with it.”
With marriage as we know it gone, everyone would enjoy all the legal benefits of marriage (custody rights, tax-free inheritance, joint ownership of property, health care and spousal citizenship, and much more) without limiting the number of partners or their gender. Nor would “couples” be bound to each other in the eyes of the law. This is clearly where the movement is headed. If you doubt that this is the motive, read what is in the literature today. Activists have created a new word to replace the outmoded terms infidelity, adultery, cheating and promiscuity. The new concept is POLYAMOROUS. It means the same thing (literally “many loves”) but with the agreement of the primary sexual partner. Why not? He or she is probably polyamorous, too.
Liberal columnist Michael Kinsley wrote a July 2003 op-ed piece in The Washington Post titled, “Abolish Marriage: Let’s Really Get the Government Out Of Our Bedrooms.” In this revealing editorial, Kinsley writes, “[The] solution is to end the institution of marriage, or rather, the solution is to end the institution of government monopoly on marriage. And yes, if three people want to get married, or one person wants to marry herself and someone else wants to conduct a ceremony and declare them married, let ‘em. If you and your government aren’t implicated, what do you care? If marriage were an entirely private affair, all the disputes over gay marriages would become irrelevant.” Otherwise, the author warns, “it’s going to get ugly.”

I’m surprised Rob allowed this to be posted here.
I had a discussion with my grandfather about Romney (his #1 Candidate) versus Thompson (my #1). My single biggest reason for supporting Fred as my number one is that once a Federalist, Always a Federalist–what that means is that any Federalist cannot in any way find reason to support the massive Federal encroachment onto State’s rights that Roe represented.
Roe has nothing to do with stem cells as Romney claims changed his mind. It has to do with the Feds dictating to the states what “Rights” they must protect based on something other than the Constitution. One cannot stand firm against Judicial Activism and support Roe. One cannot support State’s Rights and support Roe.
So either Romney is a pragmatist and this issue was more pragmatic or Romney sn’t as stong of an idealists on Federalism. Either way, this is dangerous ground because unless one is specifically looking for an Alito or Roberts, once can easily find a Kennedy or Sutter.
Bork’s endorsement goes a long way. I think Romney was in a no win situation in MA in a state that is as Liberal as you can find. He led a very blue state in a very red way. As opposed to Huck who led a very red state in a rather blue way.
Fred is still my #1, but Romney is surging. Fred needs to get off of his ass and get some momentum. The “Mormons have a different Jesus” crowd is actually helping galvanize support behind Romney by scaring the shit out of the folks that see Huckabee for what he is–a social conservative Preacher that has no chance in a general election because his past sermons and statements don’t resonate among anyone outside of the echo chamber of the religious right.
RBB,
Its the sheer volume of everything else you don’t know that ought to be troubling you.
Really? Why would you say that?
This should help those learly of Romney. He is positioned, with such short time before voting begins, to be the only alternative to Huckabee. If Huck wins Iowa and Romney wins New Hampshire, I forsee Thompson fading pretty fast before South Carolina actually votes and many of the Thompson folks sliding behind Romney to prevent Huck from dragging us all under..
But hey, what do I know…
