The #1 most important reason NOT to vote for Mitt Romney!
Who has Mitt Romney chosen to help him select Justices? Right-wing extremist Robert Bork, whose views are so extreme his own nomination to the Court was rejected by a broad, bipartisan coalition more than 20 years ago.
Selecting Supreme Court Justices is one of the most important jobs a President will do. Justices serve for life, and their rulings affect every aspect of our country, from workers' rights and corporate power to a woman's right to choose and who can vote in elections.
We can't let Mitt Romney and Robert Bork shape our Supreme Court. It's just too dangerous.

Bork once ruled that a woman could be forced by her employer to get sterilized or lose her job.
The case was between a company that had harmful levels of lead in the work environment and the federal government that wanted the company to clean up its act.
The government pointed out that the lead would be most harmful to a fetus of any female employee. Instead of fixing the problem the employer wanted to use the forced sterilization option.
Bork took the employers side as one oh the circuit judges that ruled on the case.

Kicking for visibility - thanks for posting. That's a sobering primer on Bork. Is there no length Romney won't go to in order to pander to the fringe lunacy in this country. Bringing Bork onto a campaign should be the kiss of death, not something to be proud of.

Nope. In 2003 when he was preparing to run for President, he went to North Carolina and MADE FUN OF LIBERALS in MASSACHUSETTS. Problem? He was STILL THE GOVERNOR of MASS! What a fucking pandering ass-face Romney is.
The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort. Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity. They are the old voices of fear and impotence. - Anonymous

Unbelievable! Can you imagine the fallout if a Democratic governor did that?

Romney and the rest of the rabid RW love "activist" judges--when they rule in their favor. Then, they're "following the Constitution" and ruling accordingly.
