Just like Scalia only, if anything, worse. The fact that he went on to write a book that decried egalitarianism makes me shudder. Thanks so much, Ted Kennedy, Arlen Specter and all the others who kept this guy off the court.

The rot in this man's intellect was astounding. It's clear to me that he was not only lacking in compassion, he was arrogant and prejudiced to the point of being hateful.

In the second, the Bushes, even in the third generation, are smarter than you think (though it's probably fair to call G.W. an "intellectual non-entity").

He goes back further than the Saturday Night Massacre. He was part of Goldwater's Brains Trust, and persuaded Goldwater to vote "no" on the Civil Rights Act on "Constitutional" grounds -- grounds that left him aping the words of Plessy v Ferguson. Bork was a different kind of segregationist than James Eastland or George Wallace, but a segregationist he nonetheless was.

I certainly remembered his part in the Saturday Night Massacre, which was the basis for my opposition to his becoming a Supreme Court justice. I thought his behavior was craven butt-kissing (and not in a good way). Oh, yes - @13: don't be so impressed with fancy degrees from expensive schools. Need I point out that Yale has graduated three generations of Bushes?

His potential seat was filled by Kennedy, so, yeah Kennedy sucks, but Bork would have been way worse.

With Bork on the Supreme Court, the progress of gay rights alone would have been delayed at least 10 years. Anthony Kennedy ain't perfect, but the country dodged a bullet by borking Bork.

For all its ills today, America would be a far worse place if he'd been put on the court.
