Heee heee heee hee!!!!! Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Hohhohohohohohohohoh!!!!
Ahhhhh, pardon my outburst. I'm having a difficult time controlling myself.
Bork appeared tonight on MSNBC's "The Situation," and added this to his summation of the nomination:
[I]t's kind of a slap in the face to the conservatives who've been building up a conservative legal movement for the last 20 years. There's all kinds of people, now, on the federal bench and some in the law schools who have worked out consistent philosophies of sticking with the original principles of the Constitution. And all of those people have been overlooked. And I think one of the messages here is, don't write, don't say anything controversial before you're nominated.
More juicy quotes after the jump.
CARLSON: Now what do you think her chances of being confirmed are?
BORK: I think they're probably pretty high because -- and this should give the president some pause -- they're pretty high because the Democrats seem to like her.
CARLSON: Yeah.
BORK: I think that ought to give him reason to think that maybe he made a mistake.
CARLSON: What about conservatives in Washington. I no longer live there, so I don't have quite my finger on the pulse of it. But what's your sense of how Bush's supporters feel about Harriet Miers?
BORK: Well, those who are involved in the process have some reason to stick with the White House -- not because they believe what the White House has done is wise, but they can't jump overboard with this decision. But everybody else I've talked to ranges between disapproval and outrage.
Now, I'm not in love with the idea being pushed that the Democrats like Miers, but it isn't necessarily a bad meme to have circulating. I mean, how much does it really hurt us pre-hearings?
One thing we can agree with the Republicans on: we've got to hear a lot more, read a lot more, and know a lot more of substance about this nominee. Should she survive the firestorm raging on the Right to actually reach the hearing stage, we should demand a great deal more information than we got from Roberts.
