if Bork had been confirmed instead of Kennedy, Roe would have been defeated...So it's not all Reagan, the Dem Senate Reagan had to deal with forced his hand.

I'm not blaming Reagan. Just saying, whatever the reason, the result was what it was. The real mystery is how the hell Scalia ever got confirmed! And I think he got like 98 votes. Incredible. I think the odds are always that a GOP pick will be better than a Dem pick. But if you look at the record, the question is how much better on average. Just stuff to chew on. The sad fact is either you vote for the GOP or you toss your vote out, one way or the other. I could pay zero attention to politics, vote GOP, and I would be doing as well as if I paid close attention.
