I just cannot get over Bork, who couldn't get himself on the Court, criticizing this nomination.
"I just cannot get over Bork, who couldn't get himself on the Court, criticizing this nomination."
Why? Bork was a legal giant who was derailed by a concerted lib attack machine. He thinks it's important for an SCJ to have more qualifications than Ms. Miers. Why is that hard to get over?
Why? Bork was nominated because he did a hell of a lot of work over many years to prove his extraordinary qualifications to the world. Miers was nominated because she proved herself to George Bush. Bork probably believes that his nomination was for merit, hers for cronyism.
Also, Bush's negative comments in 1999 about "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" might be a factor.
