Robert Bork, whose rejected nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court made history, has died in northern Virginia. He was 85.
FOX News Radio’s Rich Johnson reports:
It was 1987 when Ronald Reagan nominated Appeals Court Judge Robert Bork for the Supreme Court.
(Bork) “There is no reason whatsoever in my record to think that I have any problem protecting women or any other group.”
But Senate Democrats were not so sure.
(Kennedy) “Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters…”
