Kennedy was appointed by Reagan after Bork and his second choice where not seated by the Senate. He was Reagan’s third choice and a complete unknown who LIED to those who vetted him for the post. Remember only Democrats are afforded the benefit of having their nominees seated. Republicans must always try to find someone who MAY be Conservative. Democrats, on the other hand, simply appoint the most Liberal lawyers they can find and the Republicans rubber stamp them.
So true.
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.
