I think the people who borked Bork were more concerned about not appointing to the Supreme Court a man who up to that point was best known as the man who didn't stand up to Nixon in the Saturday Night Massacre. No way that was going through.
Although, Bork's views on just about everything didn't help his cause much.
I agree that loonies in the Republican party are not just there in the background, especially when it comes to local politics. If Bush gets a couple of Supreme Court appointees, he will pander to his right.
