| Description | Former Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork has joined Americans United for Life, an anti-abortion group, to oppose Solicitor General Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Court, pointing to Kagan’s admiration for Aharon Barak — the former chief justice of Israel’s supreme court, whom conservatives regard as an activist judge.
In a conference call with reporters, Bork said Kagan’s public praise for Barak is evidence that her judicial philosophy has not yet matured. He called Barak “the worst judge on the planet,” who has repeatedly demonstrated — and touted — his reputation as an activist judge in the Israeli legal system.
“I think it’s disqualifying in and of itself,” Bork said of Kagan’s opinion of Barak. |
