[Krimel] Ah, Bork. We dodged a bullet on that dude. Thanks to Ted Kennedy for stopping that one. Here is a Wiki-snag from his 1987 Robert Bork's America speech. Even the shameless Raygun was stunned into silence. Unfortunately Borg's vision lives in other reactionary Republican court appointees. But Bork would have been the worst of a bad lot. "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is -- and is often the only -- protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy... President Reagan is still our president. But he should not be able to reach out from the muck of Irangate, reach into the muck of Watergate and impose his reactionary vision of the Constitution on the Supreme Court and the next generation of Americans. No justice would be better than this injustice." -Ted Kennedy, 1987 This is the America Platt longs for but so far can't have. Thanks, Ted!
