I don't think Bork supported Ginsberg. In fact, he said just this summer that Ginsberg and Breyer are "activists, who are making up the Constitution, who are reaching results that have no plausible relationship to the actual Constitution."

That said, Bork thinks the 2nd amendment is an "anachronism." It was fortuitous that he did not have the presence of mind to shave off his Simon-Legree beard, and so was defeated for the Supreme Court.

Yes he did. He may have later changed his story. I just remembered he also mentioned at the same time that she was one of his best students.

May be a reference to Douglas Ginsberg, SC shortimer..

Bork thinks the 2nd amendment is an "anachronism."

That may be. I'd would like to see the context for that comment, but it doesn't matter, as long as Bork hews to original intent.

Under original intent, Bork would be bound to support the 2nd amendment as a matter of law until such time as another amendment overrides it.

That's while the only question I'm concerned about is Mier's understanding of and belief in the doctrine of original intent.

What she thinks of abortion should only matter when she enters the voting booth in her precinct. What she thinks of original intent should be what matters on the Bench. The question of Roe V Wade is one of original intent, not one of abortion.

Whether she would vote today to ratify the 2nd amendment is not the question, but will she interpret the 2nd amendment via original intent, or vote to allow 'reasonable limitations'.
