Who was judge Robert Bork?

Answer 1

Robert Bork was an American legal scholar, judge, and nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1982, he gained national attention in 1987 when his Supreme Court nomination by President Ronald Reagan was rejected by the Senate, largely due to his controversial views on civil rights and judicial interpretation. Bork is often associated with the term "Borking," which refers to the process of scrutinizing and politically attacking a nominee's record. He later became a prominent conservative commentator and author in legal and political circles.
