Judge Robert Bork Blasts Elena Kagan

"Ms. Kagan has not had the time to develop a mature philosophy of judging," said Bork in a conference call organized by Americans United for Life.

"It is typical of young lawyers going into constitutional law that they have inflated dreams of what constitutional law can do and what courts can do," Bork said. "That’s the danger of Ms. Kagan that she hasn’t had any experience that would lead her to mellow…the academia is not a place where you use prudence and caution and other virtues of a judge."

And ...
“The one thing the republicans would gain by making an issue of the Kagan hearings is a little integrity for future battles,” he said when asked whether Republicans should make an effort to take issue with Kagan’s confirmation. He added that the Republicans would lose "their reputation for rolling over any time a woman or a liberal is nominated."
