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.

Show me where I said he broke a law. I said he had a chance to show his true character by doing the right thing. Oh wait, I forgot - if it doesn't break a law, and a republican did it, it's
per se morally correct. Call it the Spanky rule.
I would agree that Bork was a qualified jurist, and more qualified than most. But his nomination was opposed mostly by women, who were afraid rightly that he would vote to overturn Roe. The Democratic senators on the Committee you mention were reflecting the concerns of the people, not acting on their own. And 50 of their colleagues agreed with them.
