The real case against Bork was The Saturday Night Massacre.

Well, I know one thing, he is in great torment now, has been since he went to the grave, and will be forever.

We’re losing all of our good guys.

Perhaps if Judge Bork had been on the Supreme Court, we might not have Obamacare.

If Judge Bork had made it to the Supreme Court we would not have Obama sitting in the White House.

Another great American has passed from the scene.

Dead ted was first and foremost a Communist Collaborator, drunken murderer and a loser. Lets call a spade a spade.

The so-called “Lion of the Senate,” Ted Kennedy, surely one of the most despicable men ever to hold high public office in the United States (yes, that’s saying something), stood on the Senate floor and emitted a serious of calumnious lies designed not simply to prevent Judge Bork from being appointed to the Supreme Court but to soil his character irretrievably.

The damage done to this country by Ted Kennedy is incalculable. He gave us third-world immigration (along with a host of other abominations), the gift that keeps on giving.

On the plus side, Obama is not now able to appoint Bork’s successor.

RIP. This country was robbed of one of the best men ever due to the sick minds of sick people. Justice Roberts take note.

Robert Bork's deep wisdom will outlive the shallow contempt of his adversaries.

A great mind, a great jurist and a great influence on many. RIP.

May he rest in peace. Prayers for his family.

He was a good and great man, whose contribution to our legal system cannot be overestimated.

Rest In Peace, Robert Bork!

You should have been on the Supreme Court, but the left denied you that honor. For that, they should not be forgiven.

"Then why do the lying communist propagandists continue to refer to him as 'the Lion of the Senate?' "

Because Teddy Kennedy WAS "the Lyin' of the Senate".
