An early victim of the left’s Politics of Pesonal Destruction.

He was truly one of the great legal minds of our time. It is a travesty that he was not confirmed to the Court.

He was kept off the court by a Republican....the bastards’ name was ARLEN SPECTER....may he rot in.........

Not many are accorded the distinction of having their name become a verb, a portion of our immeasurable debt to Ted Kennedy, of Kennedy-Dodd waitress sandwich fame.

He didn’t deserve the treatment he got. It shows what lengths the radical man-hating abortion-loving feminazis will go to destroy anyone who gets in their way.

Thanks for the post - he was a good man. Prayers for his family and loved ones...

Let’s not forget that Mr. Bork’s nomination was destroyed by a drunken lying, philanderer, coward, killer named Teddy.

Here is Robert Bork’s bibliography:

He was a solicitor general during the Nixon administration and first gained notoriety for carrying out the president's order to fire the special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal in 1973, an episode known as the Saturday Night Massacre.

This is an interesting little item that is often overlooked in Bork's past. I've read in several places that this particular issue resulted in a lot of very soft GOP support for his nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.

So Obama would have replaced Bork, unless he would have quit before Bush left office.

"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution," Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, said at the time. "The doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens."

That's the infamous and asinine quote from the late Teddy that CNN is so happy to repeat, despite the fact that it was nothing but slanderous.

Yes, to borrow Kennedy's metaphor, federal judges do "shut the doors of the federal courts on the fingers of millions of citizens," but Kennedy and his ilk would never admit that they are more often leftist judges who commonly do exactly that to Americans who are white, male, and heterosexual (as well as others) whose rights are trampled upon by ever more powerful government - be it federal, state, or local.
