“Former Judge Robert Bork said Friday that Microsoft should be broken into three identical companies at the end of its antitrust trial.

‘My own opinion is that I think structural relief is probably going to be required,’ Bork told reporters at a luncheon meeting of ProComp, a group that approves of the government antitrust charges against Microsoft (MSFT).

“Bork represents Netscape Communications (NSCP), but he emphasized: ‘I’m not speaking for Netscape and I’m not speaking for ProComp.... I have not cleared my remarks’

I think what was done to Bork was unconscionable. And Kennedy wasn't exactly the best pick on the planet.

That's said, every now and then I'm reminded of things Bork wrote like what you posted and his 2nd Amendment views and reconsider whether or not we dodged a bullet. Indeed, consider the impact of Bork vs Kennedy rulings until Bork's death in 2012 - Casey is a stand-out where Bork likely would have swayed the outcome but we may have lost Heller - and a replacement by Obama...arguably Kennedy MAY have been a better pick in the long run.
