to
bork: To
attack shamelessly, with no regard for the truth,
and with total disregard for doing the right
thing.
Word came into existence after the
Democrat-controlled United States Senate voted
not to confirm Robert Bork's nomination (by
President George Herbert Walker Bush) for the
Supreme Court.
The man held what until then had would have been
considered the necessary credentials, so why
wasn't his nomination confirmed?
It was certainly not because he lacked the
ability, the intellect, or the qualifications.
What he lacked was likeability and a liberal
bent; he definitely didn't meet the Democrats'
ideological criteria: he was most avowedly a
conservative judge.
Democrats during the 1980s had come to the
conclusion that they would never succeed in
getting laws passed that would advance their
liberal agenda.
Their solution (Thought up by Harvard Law
Professor Lawrence Tribe and cohorts?): use
whatever means necessary to stack the United
States judicial system with liberal, activist
judges, judges willing to make new law through
their interpretations of the laws on the books.
In order for their plan to succeed, it was
necessary to hold up judicial appointments as
long as possible in the hopes that a Democrat
would soon be returned to the Presidency--while
concurrently claiming that they were trying to
keep a Republican President from stacking the
court with radical conservatives so far out of
the mainstream as to be a threat to the nation's
very existence.
The ploy remains in use today as many of
President George W. Bush's judicial nominations
languish without even a Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing.
God forbid that the nominees actually get to the
Senate floor for a vote--most would probably be
confirmed.
If you're a liberal Democrat, you may choose to
believe that today's Democrats are just doing to
President Bush what yesterday's Republicans did
to President Clinton.
The facts and the corresponding judicial
appointment statistics belie any sound basis for
such a claim.
A possible result: We have virtually no criminals
in the United States today--just misunderstood,
downtrodden members of society--people who
committed their crimes because society made them
do it.
Example: Judicial nominee after judicial
nominee gets borked by the Democrats.

to turn their nouns into verbs when they are so
minded. I can't locate my copy, but that's almost
a quote from the entry at contact. What we need
in our schools is more teachers and fewer
pedants. We also need math teachers who do *not*
tell their pupils, There's no such thing as minus
zero. For every number a, there's a number -a
such that a + (-a) = 0. If a is assigned the
value zero, then -a is minus zero. Enough said.]
