It was ALL the Fault of Senator Edward "Cognac & Chappaquiddick" Kennedy, who made all those disparaging and overly-false statements about Bork that greased the Senate against him.
Just hope they don't find another hairy coke can.
Again, "Borking" Judge Alito is not as accurate of a description as "Bolton-ing" him would be.
I still think the 'Rats will try and demand information about Judge Alito that they have no right to see (presidential papers and such from when he was in the Reagan Admin.) and then attempt to filibuster his nomination based on having not answered questions that are completely inapproriate in the first place.
Same technique that they used on John Bolton.
Let us hope that someone's "Constitutional Option" trigger finger is itchy...
I saw the confirmation hearings of Bork on C-Span last week. He looked kinda like the Ted Kazinski with his crazy looking hair and beard. I can understand why he had little support in the Senate and the public at large. I guess that is why Bush is nominating clean cut guys in their early 50's.
