Biden Gets Borked

Copyright by James R Carlson


Joe Biden on the Left and Judge Bork on the Right


Recent Supreme Court rulings have upset the political apple cart of the current Biden administration, overturning more than issues presented to the Court. The effect of these decisions has in fact upset the politization of the court that Biden had once advocated for left wing viewpoints. Biden once railed against Judge Bork in his hearing to become a Justice on the Supreme Court about Bork’s ‘Original Intent’ stance on the rule of law. The effect that Biden had on Bork was to dismiss his nomination, which led to the idea of getting ‘Borked’. Now, as the Court is standing up for Bork’s stance on original intent, Biden is the one getting ‘Borked’.


During Judge Bork’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chairman Biden said, “Will we retreat from our tradition of progress or will we move forward, continuing to expand and envelop the rights of individuals in a changing world which is bound to have an impact upon those individuals’ sense of who they are and what they can do?…In passing on this nomination to the Supreme Court, we must also pass judgment on whether or not your particular philosophy is an appropriate one at this time in history.”


Judge Bork responded “If a judge abandons intention as his guide, there is no law available to him, and he begins to legislate a social agenda for the American people… That goes well beyond his legitimate powers. He or she then diminishes liberty instead of enhancing it. The truth is that the judge who looks outside the Constitution always looks inside himself and nowhere else.” Judge Bork said that judges aren’t support to interpret the law in light of the current political viewpoints but according to its original meaning.


History will now pass judgement on President Biden and his many issues that are getting overturned at the Supreme Court due to his intent to push his left wing social and economic policies that are both illegal and unconstitutional. The Progressive issues he once advocated are no longer getting a pass in the Court that Biden would call ‘normal’. The idea of ‘Original Intent’ is now front and center while the dinosaur views of Joseph Biden are put on the ash heap of history where bad ideas go to die.


The political left has long used the Courts to push their political views even threatening the Supreme Court with a Court Packing idea back in the 1930s. The beginning of the end of the Progressive Era is at hand. And while Biden may claim the origin of the idea of Borking someone, it is Biden himself whom history will report got Borked. The Court is returning to an Original Intent foundation where the rule of law is to be followed, not someone’s political left leaning viewpoints. In short, Biden, you just got Borked.
