    So many things about Bork have been memory holed. His position that employers have right to demand employees be steralized or risk firing alienated many, many evangelicals and Catholics. Which is why some in GOP felt comfortable voting against him. This has all been forgottenhttps://twitter.com/rauchway/status/1487129262087815168 …

    Robert Bork did Nixon’s bidding in the Saturday Night Massacre because, as Ruckelshaus said, Bork’s conscience would let him. Nixon told Bork he’d nominate him for the Court. That episode should demonstrate to anyone that Bork was manifestly unfit to be a justice. https://twitter.com/nycsouthpaw/status/1487105716510990338 …

        Hey, c'mon, what do you have against forced sterilization? It's not like a vaccine mandate, or anything like that!

        Yup. The direct line from Bork to the anti-vax majority on today's court is a stark testament to shameless hypocrisy of "conservative intellectualism" on the bench..https://twitter.com/ragepath/status/1128953348101529602 …

        RAGEPATH added,

        Excerpt from a 1987 news article describing Bork's defense of a legal ruling that upheld the right of an employer to fire women employees who refused to be sterilized.

        One of the most shocking moments in Robert Bork's confirmation hearing occurred when a woman described being forcibly sterilized by her employer in a move that Bork legally upheld. pic.twitter.com/AaHaHoVstD

        Let's start with the fact that he was willing to help Nixon cover up crimes. He should have been untouchable after that.

        So maybe a big part of Bork was not only judicial philosophy but his defenders probably were Nixon sympathizers. If I searched for Pat Buchanan's thoughts on Bork, what are the chances I will find a defense of Bork? Probably good. Surely the mythology metastasized.
