Rest In Peace Your Honor, and thank you for so much.
Just because Fox has not reported it while you were watching does not mean Fox did not report it. I saw it and heard it on Fox News this morning...believe me or not, your choice.
Your Honor RIP!!!
I thought he was dead a while back. It must have been someone else.
Wish you would have been on the Supreme Court the last 1/4 Century. God Bless his family.
A great man, held back by leftist Lilliputians.
In the book, he said that the First Amendment should apply only to political speech, and that anything else should be subject to government regulation.

Obviously I dont agree
Absolutely. Of course he will be remembered by many the way liberals and the complicit liberal media portrayed him as they sought to destroy him. But those who are independent thinks know and remember him as a great man.
He wasn’t really run out of town; he could have stayed on the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia but chose to step down after the Democrat Senate (along with John Warner et al) voted him down for the Supreme Court. He could have still been on the Circuit Court had he so chosen.
Judge Bork: great jurist and great American. He did his best and then had to go--as America slouches toward Gomorrah...
“R.I.P., Judge Bork.
You will sadly always be the Poster Child for how the Left sets out to absolutely destroy good people through smear campaigns orchestrated by their fellow travelers in the mainstream media.”
The Left sets out to destroy and the GOP aids and abets by their lack of resolve. Bork never would have been “Borked” if not for a number of GOP weaklings. The caving of the 6 Republicans (John Chafee (R-RI), Bob Packwood (R-OR), Arlen Specter (R-PA), Robert Stafford (R-VT), John Warner (R-VA), and Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. (R-CT) made it politically safe for a few Democrats from conservative states to also vote against Bork.
It wasn’t just the Democrats. John Warner, then “R” senator from VA, voted against his confirmation after saying he would vote for confirmation.. I cannot remember ever being so livid about a political issue or vote in my life. Thereafter, I never voted for Warner but always wrote in “Robert Bork.”
When and if historians decide to study when and how politics became really ugly in the US, they need only look to the Bork nomination process.
I always liked hin and have a couple of his books. I really believe that this nation is truly a lesser nation becuase it did not have Bork on the USSC. I believe I saw somewhere that he converted to Catholicism later in life. I’ll have to pick up his books and read them a little bit this weekend.
“Well it might be a bit of a stretch to see the bright side, but if he would have won confirmation way back then, Obama might be filling his vacancy today....”
Not at all. Had the Right Honorable Robert Bork been on the Court it would have heard the challenges to the Kenyan’s qualificiations and we’d have a different President entirely.
RIP, Mr. Bork. We should’ve had you on the Supreme Court instead of Anthony Kennedy.
‘Heaven’s gain, our loss.’

Absolutely. May his family find comfort, and may he rest with the angels.
I’m so sorry to hear of this. He was a brilliant man.
Hi, Buckeye; please add me to your SCOTUS list.
I had the great joy to live in Texas for six months when I was in my twenties—the people there are so friendly! I loved it.
You have a wonderful state. :)
It's your time to see the Great Judge on High your honor. Prayers for his family and friends down here as earth becomes hell, or the top circle anyway.
