HES BACK: Robert Bork.

So many provocations, so little space and time. But Ernest Dumas picks up one of Mitt Romney’s many thoughtless utterances and views it with some alarm.

This was that Romney might look to Robert Bork for guidance on matters legal.

Robert Bork? Read on for a refresher in Ernie’s column this week, along with a cartoon George Fisher drew up for Dumas when he wrote about the failed U.S. Supreme Court nominee almost 25 years ago. This is personal, Arkies. Bork would have really Borked the state on the Grand Gulf power plant, had his legal reasoning prevailed.
