Robert Bork has written a book "The Tempting of America" to be published by the Free Press. In it he discusses his views of democracy, legal theory and his contentious defeat as nominee to the Supreme Court. He claims that by politicizing the courts, Americans have eaten away at "the peoples right to legislate the laws we want to live by."

He blames law school professors and other elite groups who no longer trust the American people to decide our laws.
