An Excerpt From The Tempting Of America By Robert Bork

"Those who drafted, proposed, and ratified the Constitution meant it to be law... This Constitution, not one they make up themselves, is to bind federal judges, and they are bound to the same thing that Senators and Representatives are bound to, along with all state officers, legislators, and judges. It would be extremely odd if all of these functionaries are equally bound but one set of them, the federal judges, is authorized to keep changing what it is everybody is bound to. That would mean, contrary to the text, that federal judges are not bound and all other classes of persons mentioned are bound to the judges and not to 'this Constitution.'" Page 174
