Funny how republicans never talk about Bork's role in the 1973 Saturday Night Massacre. For all his subsequent moaning and wailing about declines in personal morality, Bork chose keeping his job over doing the right thing in that lamentable episode. For me, that was reason enough to deny him the Supreme Court slot.

Why? This makes no sense. He followed an order that broke no law, with his action being fully public for the obvious effect that such public act had (i.e. Nixon was seen for exactly what he was).
Bork was a qualified jurist, probably the most qualified of his generation, and the Demos leading lights then, as now, a former Klan Kleagle and a drunken liar who killed an innocent young woman 36 years ago today engaged in a vicious campaign of lies and distortions to subvert the constitutional power of the President to appoint a qualified jurist to the bench.
Sad. and pathetic. And it speaks volumes that you defend the lies and crimes of degenerates like Byrd and Kennedy.
