Is this the person you believe got screwed by the Dems.? Unbelievable. You don't know who Robert Bork is? I don't see how you can be qualified to discuss the Pickering case if you don't know who Bork is. "the guy sounds like a major asshole" Because you don't agree with him? What is the basis for your hate-filled statement?

It was mostly a case that the democrats didn't want someone as conservative as Bork so they straight out rejected him. But there was charecter assasination. Ted Kennedy said that in Bork's version of America “…blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids.” The "People for the American Way" ran adds saying that Bork was for mass sterilization and Gregory Peck said that Bork favored restoring literacy tests and the poll tax. "For example, in the 1987 fight over the Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork, wrote the Washington Post's E.J. Dionne in an influential recent column, "Liberals couldn't simply oppose Bork. To block him, they had to trash him." Now, Dionne continued, Democrats are "no longer shilly-shallying. They're saying, right from the start, that they'll oppose judicial nominees on philosophical grounds alone." nationalreview.com May 21, 2001 Washington Post Bork Wasn't Borked Back To Bork: Liberals revive old tactics for new nominees jewishworldreview.com
