 First of all, we never thought [the authorities] would resort to such banditry. We've been in this country for 14 years [of independence], and any kind of injustice used to have certain norms and limits. To go beyond these limits means to go out of control. Now we see that those in power are ready to go beyond the accepted limits. We'll see what's going to happen in other regions we're going to visit. |
| I'm going to retake ownership of my constitution. The constitution was written to limit the power of those we elect to office. This fight is a very important one. There are 12.5 million Pennsylvanians and 253 people in office in Harrisburg, drunk on the power. They don't get it. Out here, it's us versus them. |
| We would best honor Chief Justice Rehnquist’s memory and legacy by getting back to his project of restoring constitutionalism. That means enforcing the limits on government that are clearly in the Constitution and not making up and enforcing rights that are not in the Constitution. |
| God has been pleased to prescribe limits to his power and to work out his ends within these limits. |

| Once the justices depart, as most of them have, from the original understanding of the principles of the Constitution, they lack any guidance other than their own attempts at moral philosophy, a task for which they have not even minimal skills. Yet when it rules in the name of the Constitution, whether it rules truly or not, the Court is the most powerful branch of government in domestic policy. The combination of absolute power, disdain for the historic Constitution, and philosophical incompetence is lethal. |
Robert Bork (1927-)
| Philosophically, he has more in common with liberals, who see no limits to state power as long as it is used to advance what they think is right. In the same way, Bush has used government to pursue a 'conservative' agenda as he sees fit. But that is something that runs totally contrary to the restraints and limits of power inherent in the very nature of traditional conservatism. It is inconceivable to traditional conservatives that there could ever be such a thing as 'big government conservatism,' a term often used to describe Bush's philosophy. |
| My reading of that case is that the U.S. Supreme Court has said that the state legislature has plenary power, full power, in respect to appointment of presidential electors and that power cannot be eroded even by the state constitution, |
