Title: Bork Wasn't the First; Thurgood Marshall and Fortas were
Review: The author conveniently rewrites history by insinuating that the Bork was the first Supreme Court nominee to face below the pale scrutiny in the modern era. We cannot forget the hero of the right wingers, Strom Thurmond, who shamefully attempted to take down Thurgood Marshall. Thurmond tormented Marshall with sixty arcane legal questions and grilled him on three Reoncstruction era Amendments. As head of the Judiciary Committee, Thurmond also blocked the nomination of Abe Fortas to succeed Earl Warren.Those Republicans who attempt to argue that the Bork nomination began the era of bad feelings and nasty tactics have short memories and are shameless false fact revisionists.
