News Item:
Robert H. Bork, a former solicitor general, federal judge and conservative legal theorist whose 1987 nomination to the United States Supreme Court was rejected by the Senate in a historic political battle whose impact is still being felt, died on Wednesday. He was 85.
Comment:
If Bork had been nominated Roe v Wade would have been overturned. The few working class protections left from FDR's days would have been overturned. He had a bad heart that was obvious to all. The Senate performed its Constitutional responsibility with honor and wisdom and the United States is better for it, but barely. This is why it is so very important that the President and the Senate protect the people from those who would diminish liberty for profit.
