So Bork and Kennedy don't exist? Teller Sun February 14, 2016 14:20:50

Don't forget Reagan nominated Douglas Ginsburg afer Bork was rejected -- Withdrew after it was revealed he smoked pot, Sun February 14, 2016 14:33:03

I think the disqualifier was that his wife had performed abortions during her residency seven years earlier (NT) -- Ginsburg had also run some sleazy dating service in college, Sun February 14, 2016 16:29:48

Well, if Ginsburg had been confirmed, there'd be 2 Judge Ginsburgs on the court now (NT) -- ., Sun February 14, 2016 17:01:29

Bork was nominated on July 1, 1987 (NT) -- He got voted down 58-42 on October 23, Sun February 14, 2016 16:32:49
