This is from Laura Ingraham’s radio show on Friday:

Laura: What do you make of the Miers nomination?
Romney: Well, I totally agree with Judge Bork’s comments that I heard on the air. And that is, what has happened to the court is it has become a legislative body. It has decided when it determines we should have a major shift in law in this country, that it is going to carry out that shift without either a vote of the people or a vote of Congress. That is unconstitutional it’s contrary to the vision of the founding fathers and it’s contrary to the preservation of the democracy upon which this nation was built. As that as happened it’s led to the level of contention we have had and a demand on the part of those who care deeply about our country and its constitution to look for people of very strong conservative credentials and individuals who have the intellectual underpinnings to sway the court in the direction of conservative thought and in terms of restraint. With regards to the Miers nomination, I think a lot of people, myself included, are disappointed in many respects, not despondent of course, but disappointed. She’s a very capable and purposeful individual. But obviously our highest hope had been for someone who had the credentials and track record that would suggest an ability to move the court’s opinion in an intellectual direction over a number of decades.
