How the Bork Nomination Shook America
Publication Date: 17/01/2008
When President Reagan nominated Robert Bork to the Supreme Court, it was the spark that fuelled a months-long firestorm during which liberals and conservatives battled fiercely over Reagan's choice. Based on scores of interviews with key figures and a shrewd analysis of the issues, then-Boston Globe reporter Ethan Bronner chronicles this engrossing story of a titanic struggle for political power. It features key players such as Senators Joseph Biden and Edward Kennedy, with the latter leading the fight against the appointment using savvy Madison Avenue style strategies; a maddened Justice Department desperate to hold its ground; a shocked White House staff, caught off-guard; and of course Bork himself, who insisted that "the process of confirming justices for our nations highest court has been transformed in a way that should not and indeed must not be permitted to occur again."
