Bork is also a brilliant legal genius. And was just as good as Roberts at quoting and explaining the law. That didn't stop the Democrats from Borking him.
They pulled the attack ads on Roberts. They ran them day and night on Bork.

The thing that Judge Roberts has that Judge Bork does not is the temperament to get through a confirmation without being devoured by the Dems.
I read your column.... and I think it makes sense. The mood of the country is different than when they borked Bork and fried Thomas. I would guess Roberts won't get more than 20 no votes.
