"Roberts did not cross and fight."
Bork did and he was "Borked."
Did Bork have 55 republican senators in the senate?
" The Democrats had regained control of the Senate by a 54 to 46 margin in the 1986 elections."
Bork had a very uphill battle. Roberts has no such problem. In fact Roberts has NINE more senators on his side.
But hey when a man has no spine - nothing will back him up.
