IIRC, Bork withdrew, for the most part, from active legal practice and dedicating time to writing. I have no idea if he regularly had contact with the USSC Justices after his failed nomination.
What I was referring to was Bork's opinions on the D. C. Court of Appeals. There were several times that he wrote an opinion that undermined earlier USSC precedents and that was accepted by the current Court when the case was heard. I remember at the time of his nomination hearing a couple of liberal legal talking heads expressing fear over this fact suggesting that Bork's argumentation was particularly influential.
I looked up Judge Bork’s bio. He was indeed influential on the Court of Appeals for Washington D.C. Had a distinguished legal career long before that. I wonder what he thought of the youthful Hillary Clinton & her courtroom shenanigans; he must have been aware of her unsavory nature even then.
But a judge persuading his colleagues toward his views by logical argumentation, precedent & facts???
Hoodathunkit?
