A Time to Speak: Selected Writings and Arguments (American Ideals & Institutions) (American Ideals and Institutions) - Hardcover

Since at least 1971, when he published a seminal article on constitutional interpretation in the "Indiana Law Journal", Robert Bork has been the legal and moral conscience of America, reminding us of our founding principles and their cultural foundation. The scourge of liberal ideologues both before and after Ronald Reagan nominated him for the Supreme Court in 1987, Bork has for fifty years unwaveringly exposed - and explained - the hypocrisy and dereliction of duty endemic among our nation's elites, the politicization and adversary activism of our courts, and the consequent degradation of American society.Now, for the first time, Judge Bork has gathered together his most important and prophetic writings in "A Time to Speak", including a new introduction and commentary by the author. The volume includes more than sixty vintage Bork contributions on topics ranging from President Nixon to St. Thomas More, from abortion to antitrust policy, and from civil liberties to natural law. It also includes several of his judicial opinions and transcribed oral arguments. "A Time to Speak" is an indispensable book for all who have harkened to the truths spoken so forthrightly, in season and out, by this great American original.
