Sorry, but 25 years worth of Robert Bork on the court (and making better decisions than Tony Kennedy) would have been worth it. Roe v. Wade would have been toast 20 years ago in the Casey decision. The result in Lawrence v. Texas would have been different, as well.

Maybe. Maybe not. He’s been sick for a while. Probably would’ve retired during the Bush administration (like he retired from teaching law school).

Either way, his replacement was Anthony Kennedy. Every 5-4 ruling where Kennedy sided with the liberals would’ve gone the other way. Including abortion.
