Robert Bork Interview (on nomination of Judge Ruth Ginsburg to Supreme Court) 10.10.10 Judge Robert Bork answers questions about Judge Ruth Ginsburg, says "she is a good judge, I disagree with her on a few fundamental points....She is very well prepared for every case...." 10.10.55 "The Constitution for example, Ruth Ginsburg believes that a Judge can put new principals into the Constitution, that weren't originally there, in the name of keeping it up to date. I think that's fundamentally wrong, and that's why she will find the constitutional right to abortion in the Constitution, she may find a right to homosexual conduct in the Constitution, she probably will find affirmative action to be constitutional ...." 10.12.10 Judge Bork is asked "if" he was a Senator, what would you ask her? He responds by saying that he would ask her what "legal materials" she would look at, what process she would go through rather than the results...." 10.17.00 Speaks about other judicial nominees, Clarence Thomas, etc. 10.18.00 Answers question "if" he were god, how would you change the process? He responds, "You can't devise a process that can't be abused, but if I were able to control the process, I would say let's discuss judicial philisophy, how you approach issues and stop demanding about how you're going to vote. Because, when you get people down to a place where they're specifiying how they're going to vote and they keep their promises once they're on the court, then a few Senators come to control the meaning of the Constitution and not an independant judiciary." 10.18.54 Talks about "closed door" hearings, says the press wouldn't put up with it .... 10.19.59 B-roll of Robert Bork speaking with woman journalist, various shots
