Your words constitute an admission that you have zero evidence - because if it was there, it would be easily linkable - that Bork supported the Ginsburg nomination.

An easy win for me.

Which Ginsberg did he support- Douglas or Ruth?

Re the comments about Bork and Ginsburg, the following is excerpted from a Clarence Page column in the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch; 6/23/1993:

"Is Ruth Bader Ginsburg another Thurgood Marshall or another Clarence Thomas? That might sound like an oddball question to ask of a woman who ever since her nomination by President Bill Clinton to the Supreme Court has been regarded almost universally as a sweet woman with a level head and no ideological axes to grind.
. . . "A conciliator, she has shown more concern for the mechanics of the law than the big-picture visions that can get you in trouble in the superheated political climate that followed the unsuccessful confirmation hearings of her fellow appellate judge, Robert Bork.
"That makes her a good stealth candidate, in the model of Judge David Souter, the George Bush nominee whose lack of obvious beliefs on hot-button issues such as abortion or affirmative action enabled him to slip under the Democrat-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee's radar screen. Conservatives from Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, to now-retired Bork have called her the best they're going to get out of a Democratic president."
