Larry Brown on Bork's newest book
 "Coercing Virtue: The Worldwide Rule of Judges."

In his new book, former U.S. Solicitor General Robert H. Bork examines the practice of many courts as they consider and decide matters that are not committed to their authority by any legal document. This judicial activism appears to impinge on the legitimate domains of the executive and legislative branches of government and constitutes the judicialization of politics and morals. Judicial activism has, for example, opposed majority views on such matters as sexual practices, secularism versus religion, rights of speech, and expression and feminism. Coercing Virtue attempts to account for the phenomenon of why so many courts in democratic nations behave in an imperialistic manner and why the results almost always appear to advance a liberal political and cultural agenda.

Very good read & a perfect example of why the liberals did not want him on the Supreme Court.
