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.

He wasn't opposed by women at large but by a small rabid cabal of shreiking harpies who are so far outside the mainstream as to make the American Communist Party look centric. They lied about and distorted his record and should be ashamed. Eventually Roe will be overturned and that will be their just reward.
