Abstract
In October 1987 the Senate voted fifty-eight to forty-two against the nomination of Judge Robert H. Bork to the United States Supreme Court. The vote was the culmination of over three months of campaigning and political maneuvering both for and against confirmation. Through extensive committee hearings and nearly three days of floor debate, the Bork nomination proved more divisive than any Supreme Court nomination since the Nixon era.
