That leaves out a lot, and Twitter was fierce on this last night. The gist - Kennedy was nominated as a third choice. First there was a brutal Bork battle, then Ginsburg withdrew over marijuana use. Kennedy was nominated on Nov 11, 1987 for a seat that had opened up when Powell had retired at the end of the June 1987 term. Beyond that, Kennedy was viewed as a Regan surrender nominated to be what he has become - a moderate, consensus pick and likely swing vote. justoneminute.typepad.com
