Bork’s Supreme Court Nomination

The complaints of conservatives, especially in California, concerning liberal activism and opposition to the nomination of Bork are both unfounded and hypocritical.

If politics should not play a role in selecting a member of the judiciary, why, last year, was such opposition built in the effort to unseat three California Supreme Court justices in favor of judges whose views were more compatible with the governor and other conservative activists in government?
