I thought Thomas was the Bork replacement nominee...
Apparently I had misconstrued the timeline.
He succeeded judge Bork on the court of appeals.
However, the Bork incident didn’t change this ruling.
Judge Bork died in 2012.
Obama would have replaced him with another far left moonbat anyway. And the GOP Senate would have rolled over per usual.
you don’t know that
There is no telling what would have happened to Bork had he been confirmed. He may have lived to be 100 having not had the great disappointment of being abused by Ted Kennedy in the Senate hearings. He could have also been hit by a bus going to work at the SCOTUS at some point after he was seated.
The point is that had Bork been on the court for any period of time, the court would be much different simply by having him on the bench.Particularly since he would have sided with the minority in the Lawrence VS Texas ruling which opened the doors to Homosexual marriage. Kennedy swung for the sodomites on that one for the majority opinion as well. A 5/4 decision.
This nonsense has opened a huge can of worms that will take years if not decades to work its’ way out. All for the benefit of a minority so small as to be insignificant in any meaningful way. At least outside of a rest stop bathroom.
