Mike said:It's too bad Buckwheat nominated his two ultra-liberal appointtees. There is little doubt he will continue to "fundamentally change America".

Confirmation vote
On October 6, Bork's nomination was rejected in the committee by a 9–5 vote.[14] Since a committee rejection made a rejection by the full (Democratic) Senate extremely likely, Bork was widely expected to concede defeat and withdraw his name from a floor consideration.
The vacant seat on the court to which Bork was nominated eventually went to Judge Anthony Kennedy.
