I was commenting elsewhere on Bork, on how in retrospect the Dems may have done this country a yuge service inadvertently by Borking him and getting us Kennedy. Bork died on December 12, 2012. Thus, had we gotten Bork, we'd also have had an Obama replacement for him and a solid liberal majority for 4 solid years instead the squish we got and a Trump replacement for Kennedy.

Bork likely would have gotten a majority in Casey...that would be big. But there is good evidence that Bork may not have sided with the majority in Heller. If so, then not only would a SCOTUS Bork have been replaced by Obama, but perhaps he'd have gutted the palladium of the liberties of our republic.

I don't want to start a war over Abortion vs the Second Amendment. But in retrospect, getting "Borked" may not have been all that bad a thing.

Interesting.

Neither do I, but I think that abortion is a huge cultural problem, whereas Second Amendment rights are a Constitutional discussion.
The state should definitely cease funding planned parenthood 100%.
