Battle for Justice: How the Bork Nomination Shook America Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bronner's work is a good read for a historical political junkie. It traces the history of Justice Bork's nomination from it's inception to its ultimate failure. Coming on the heals of Justice Antonin Scalia's nomination and confirmation, the left, led by Ted Kennedy, wasn't going to sit by and let all the gains of previous decades slip away. Gains in Civil Rights, Women's Rights, environment would disappear to right wing ideology had Bork gotten approved. Some characterize Bork's confirmation hearings as character assassination but I disagree after reading this book. His character wasn't assassinated - his previous rulings were exposed to the light of day and America rejected them - and ultimately him.
