A Time to Speak

The scourge of liberal ideologues both before and after Ronald Reagan nominated him for the Supreme Court in 1987, Robert Bork has for fifty years unwaveringly exposed — and explained — the politicization and adversary activism of our courts, the hypocrisy and dereliction of duty endemic among our nation’s elites, and the consequent degradation of American society. Now, Judge Bork has gathered together his most important articles, essays, and legal opinions in A Time to Speak.

Other books by Judge Bork concentrate on particular issues or topics; this book introduces his fans and other readers to the full scope of his work — and will remain forever the definitive Bork collection. Containing 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, “A Time to Speak” also includes an introduction and commentary by the author, plus an appendix of essays by leading scholars on the legacy of Bork’s thought.
