So I heard most of the hearings regarding Bork's confirmation. I was struck by two positions he articulated: 1) There is no right to privacy because it's not spelled out as such in the Constitution 2) The Fourteenth Amendment only applied to blacks. Perhaps you've already spotted the inherent contradiction? Nowhere in the language of the Fourteenth Amendment does it say it only applies to African Americans. But for Bork that didn't matter since clearly it was what the Congress intended. Why then is there no right to privacy, when that is clearly what the Framers intended? Q: What do these positions, seemingly contradictory, have in common? A: They both restrict the rights of individuals. Fucker. Back in 1987, I was working in my car.

Fucker.
