Nixon was absolute child’s-play compared to the Clintons
I did not remember this.....now I know why Bork was ‘borked’. The Democrats never forget......
Robert Bork’s role in the “Saturday Night Massacre” is more than a mere historical footnote. I’ve heard that it was one of the major reasons why a lot of Republicans in the U.S. Senate had no interest in extending themselves to publicly support him when he was getting railroaded in his Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
Think back to the ‘era’ and mind set and the following bumper sticker:
IMPEACH THE COX SACKER
I find it baffling that Nixon forced his Attorney General Richard Kleindienst out of office in 1973, early in the Watergate scandal. Kleindienst, a Goldwater man, would never have hired Archibald Cox as the Watergate special prosecutor. Cox was a Kennedy man who had served as JFK’s Solicitor General.
On this day in history, the Nixon administration showed that it had more ethics than the Obama administration.
