First, he thanks Ted Kennedy for keeping Bork off the bench. Why?

Judge Bork’s last point is that the new rule of judges is international. "Judicial imperialists" made a crucial start at the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi leaders. The trials established a bad habit of confusing moral justification (Goering deserved what he got) with legal justification for retroactive lawmaking. It would have been better simply to execute the big Nazis, as Britain proposed at the time. Nuremberg established the idea that legal busy bodies can run the world according to their own notion of virtue, and it was only a few short steps to the World Court and the International Criminal Court. This argument is so sweeping as to sound paranoid — but paranoids are not always wrong . . . "

That’s just amazing.

Even more amazing, Sawicky even thinks the deficit is going to be too bigh. I now stand corrected if I teased him about never seeing a deficit he didn’t like.
