Interesting story. Robert Bork said that the Constitution does not contain a general "right to privacy", which somehow is related to abortion (sometimes I think all american politics is related to Roe vs Wade) and then a Journalist just visited Bork's videothek and asked for his record.

When I arrived that day I told the assistant manager I was thinking of writing about Judge Bork’s video tastes.
“Cool,” the assistant manager said. “I’ll look.”
While I stewed in a sudden outbreak of conscience – what if Robert Bork only rented homosexual porn…or slasher flicks…or (the…horror…) Disney? – she went upstairs to eyeball the records, returning a little glum.
“There sure are a lot of them,” she said. “Is it okay if I make a Xerox copy?”
Next day, while visiting Jack Shafer, I asked if an article on Judge Bork’s video rentals would interest him.
“You can’t do that, “ he said. “That’s illegal.”
“No, it isn’t,” I said. “Judge Bork said so.”
Okay, Shafer said. Write the story.
