Senators this week have been busy attempting to prove that Judge Robert Bork, President Reagan's nominee to the Supreme Court, is a judicial extremist, a threat to the republic. "I think things are going well," he'd say, time and again. They are replaying anything controversial that he ever wrote or said. Further, they are aided by activists who claim Bork does not support the rights of women, minorities, the press and other groups. One group, "People for the American Way" suggests that anyone who supports Bork opposes "the people." Senators of the judiciary committee are following these lobbyists lead in their questioning. The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled hearings on Thursday with two nominees from the Bush administration.
