In the eyes of still-bitter conservatives, Robert Bork is the symbol of the Senate's advice-and-consent power gone haywire. To liberals and the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bork's confirmation hearings revealed extreme views that warranted rejection of the Supreme Court nominee.
The memory of Bork's tumultuous Senate hearings 18 years ago are very much on the minds of senators as they call for dignified confirmation proceedings for whomever President Bush chooses as retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's successor on the high court.
