re: #475 Charles Johnson

Uh - Robert Bork was an extremist far right theocrat with bizarre views on the First Amendment and lots of other issues. Pretending his nomination was rejected just because Ted Kennedy didn’t like him is absurd.

This country dodged a bullet when he wasn’t approved for the Supreme Court. It would have been a nightmare.

It was a great thing Kennedy did. We ended up getting the other Kennedy instead who’s actually been a decent justice unlike Bork who would have been a right wing judicial activist posing as a strict constructionist.
