One of Bork’s opponents admitted that liberals could never win a serious debate about the Constitution, so that’s why they resorted to character assassination of Robert Bork.

The Good...
The task of the judge, he once wrote, is “to discern how the framers’ values, defined in the context of the world they knew, apply to the world we know.”
The Bad...
That same Advocacy Institute memo noted that, “Like it or not, Bork falls (perhaps barely) at the borderline of respectability.” It didn’t matter. He had to be portrayed “as an extreme ideological activist.” The ends were used to justify some truly despicable means.
And the Ugly
The next time a liberal asks why Republicans are so intransigent, you might suggest that the answer lies in the mirror.
I think that Ted Kennedy here may have done more damage to America in a single act that anyone ever has.

That’s when it got really out of hand, but the way they treated Richard Nixon was pretty bad . . . starting with their holier-than-thou theatrics of Watergate.
Those good moral ethical Democrats of Lyndon Johnson and Mayor Daley.

Yep, all that 'ugliness' decried by Obama and the MSM began with the attacks on Ronald Reagan, and continued with Teddy "The Swimmer" Kennedy, and his attacks on Robert Bork. They found their stride with the 'high tech lynching' of Clarence Thomas, and continue today, unabated.
It's interesting that, in every attack on conservative candidates by liberals, when you peel away all the superfluous arguments, it always comes down to abortion.

the start of the 2nd civil war will be traced to this act. and now obama has citizens in the streets, with expressed thoughts of a separate citizen army while defunding the real one.

“Mostly, though, the point remains this: The next time a liberal asks why Republicans are so intransigent, you might suggest that the answer lies in the mirror.”
Great close.

To overthrow a lower court procedure, SCOTUS decisions should be unanimous.
While it might have some unpleasant side effecs, that would de-activate the activist court and de-politicize it.
