I understand that it had to stop. But the person who had to be the stop should have recognized, and others (i.e. Reagan, or at least his advisors) should have recognized, that he was taking one for the team and was effectively ending his political career advancement. No way he was getting on the Court, regardless of the wackiness of his writings.
I don't blame Bork (too much) for his role in Watergate and much as I blame Reagan for nominating him. This should surprise no one.

I may be forgetting the confirmation hearings give the passage of time, but I don't remember this as the main issue that all the rhetorical posturing was about. Maybe I wasn't tuned into the process enough at the time. When NOW and NARAL and TK talked about a land of back alley abortions and no civil rights it was all code for Watergate?
