Bork to publicly oppose Kagan for high court
Failed conservative court nominee joining anti-abortion activists


WASHINGTON - Failed conservative Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork is joining anti-abortion activists to publicly oppose confirming Elena Kagan as a justice.

Bork plans to detail his criticisms of Kagan during a Wednesday news conference organized by Americans United for Life. The group calls itself the country's first national pro-life organization, and brands Kagan a pro-abortion activist.

Bork was nominated in 1987 by then-President Ronald Reagan to serve on the high court, but the Senate rejected him after an intensely partisan debate.

11. Unfortunately for Reject Bork, everybody is paying attention to the oil spill
This campaign will go nowhere, outside of a few Protestant megachurches.

I predict she is confirmed 68-32

13. So what's his argument? He doesn't like activist judges?
Kind of ironic, no?

16. Excellent! This means she'll be confirmed for sure.
Robert Bork is almost always wrong.

18. WHO cares..she is still going to be confirmed
but the way the republicans are acting should set up an example for the Democrats to remember IF the republicans ever get a chance to be in charge again. I sure as heck hope they don't in the rest of my lifetime.
