 Robert Bork was blocked in large part because he said in his writings that there was no constitutional right to privacy. |
| It doesn't have to be a Robert Bork — someone who is going to go in front of the Senate and say polarizing things. |
| This is going to be the most important, most controversial Supreme Court confirmation battle since Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. |
| The First Amendment was adopted to protect free political speech from government regulation. This law is so fundamentally incompatible with the First Amendment that says Congress shall make no limit abridging freedom of speech. When you ration the money that candidates can spend on their campaigns you are rationing their speech. |
| Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution.... |
| The conventional wisdom going into the hearings for (high court nominees Clarence) Thomas and (Robert) Bork was that they were going to get confirmed. One (Thomas) was barely confirmed, and the other was resoundingly defeated. He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring. |
| I think the process is unfair. I think it's been politicized, ... The public is sick and tired of bickering. Even if Judge Pickering is rejected, I hope we would follow the precedents of Judge [Robert] Bork and Justice [Clarence] Thomas and other federal nominees and have the full Senate consider the matter. |

| The conventional wisdom right now is that John Roberts will be confirmed just as the conventional wisdom in 1987 going into the hearings was that Robert Bork would be confirmed, ... You never know what's going to happen at a hearing. I think that's been demonstrated time and again. |
Robert Bork (1927-)
| This is the triumph of personality in politics. We tend to think that if a conservative is soft-spoken, thoughtful, and agreeable - as Roberts is - then it means he can't be far-right politically. Robert Bork played into the `extremist' stereotype. He had the wild and wooly hair - along with outspoken conservative views - and seemed like someone you wouldn't want to hang out with. Roberts seems like the opposite. |
| We were working the whole time. We never quit. I mean, things got slow and we didn't have a lot to do. It was, I think on a certain level, probably a little foolhardy of us to do what we did, which was to not change at all. We didn't break up. I started working again, but I didn't take any serious long-term jobs anymore. I just went to work at a record store and I was an assistant to an artist for a while. I still wrote some freelance articles here and there. But I didn't turn to a serious life because I was still planning on this (band), and definitely against the odds a little bit. |
| The US constitution's First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with - more speech and debate, not censorship. |

He didn't believe there was a right to privacy in the Constitution. His writings, his law review articles, were so out of the mainstream in any real sense that he was an easy target.".
