(313) 338-7700 12 FRIDAY, SEPT. 4, 1987 EQUAL -HOUSING OPPORTUNITY Norris Piece Continued from Page 6 Bork believes in judicial restraint — that jurists should interpret the law rather than create it. Perhaps Norris has difficulties with this because he is haunted by the specter that the high court might someday be dominated by justices who ac- tually believe our Founding Fathers intended something when they wrote the Constitution. The judicial process is not a policy science, but a way of reading the Constitution so as to leave the art of govern- ing where it belongs — in the legislatures and executives of the nation. Very simply, Judge Bork believes that legislating should be left to the legislators. Norris asks, "What should be the criterion for presiden- tial, Senate, and public evaluation of a nominee?" He maintains that the President and the Senate should "cooperate as equals" on this matter, and that "the Senate has as much legal power as the President over the ap- pointment." To the contrary, the President appoints Supreme Court justices with the advice and consent only, of the senate. It is not the privilege of the Senate to ap- point or choose justices, but only to lend the President its advice and consent regarding his choice. That is to say, the Senate is strictly to deter- mine whether a nominee has the moral character, legal skills, and judicial tempera- ment necessary to be a Supreme Court justice. Judge Bork's political views are not and should not be put on trial here. However, Senate liberals have stated that this is precisely what they intend to do, and this is, indeed, what Mr. Norris has done. They op- pose Bork on the grounds that he is, in their words, "a conservative ideologue," and in Norris' words, that he is not an "open-minded person." Judge Bork is eminently qualified to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. For over twenty years, as professor at Yale Law School, Solicitor General, acting U.S. Attorney General, a practicing lawyer, and a U.S. federal appeals court juge, Robert Bork has ceaselessly demonstrated his legal prowess, as one of the most extraordinary legal minds of our time. During his tenure as a judge, not one of Bork's decisions has ever been reversed or overturned, and he has voted with the ma- jority of the judges ninety- four percent of the time. In ad- dition, the American Bar Association gave him its highest rating: "exceptional- ly well-qualified." In fact, former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren E. Burger stated, "I don't think in more than fifty years since I was in law school there has ever been a nomination of a man or woman any better qualified than Judge Bork." For those, such as Norris, who would have us b elieve that a U.S. Supreme Court nominee's philosophy should play a major role in confirma- tion, Robert Bork represents the judicial philosophy that the President (elected with the mandate of the American people) and most Americans believe in. His nomination provides a chance to change the longterm radical course of the high court into a direction long favored by a majority of the American people. Bork's strong positions on affir- mative action, law and order, crime, and drugs are popular with the voters. In., conclusion, Mr. Norris would be best advised to follow the counsel of New York Governor Mario Cuomo in his recent rebuke of presidential candidate and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Joseph Biden for his premature anti-Borkism: "It's the worst kind of irony to condemn Bork on the grounds that he's not open-minded when you yourself haven't waited for the hearings to take place!" _ Debbie K. Schlussel Representative, the National Jewish Coalition, Southfield mi1 "11 NEWS USSR To Hold Chagall Exhibit New York (JTA) — Follow- ing years of official neglect by his motherland, Chagall posthumously, coming home. For the 100th anniversary of the great Russian Jewish ar- tist's birth, a major exhibition of paintings by Marc Chagall is scheduled to open at Moscow's Pushkin Museum in September.. Long neglected in the place of his birth while the Western world praised him as one of the greatest contributors to 20th century art, this official Soviet recognition of the Jewish artist is regarded as a tangible result of the new Soviet policy of "glasnost." However, plans for the show have not yet been announced in the USSR. Some of Chagall's paintings have been shown in the Soviet Union in the past, but his per- sonal contribution to 20th century art has not until now been officially recognized.
