Is it anything like "borking"

''Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens.'' - Ted Kennedy on the Senate floor

This took place back in 1987. That's pretty heavy stuff to say about someone. Granted it was on the Senate floor where senators are allowed to say anything without fear of reprisal.


In 1991, black feminist Florence Kennedy told a National Organization for Women conference that Clarence Thomas had to be defeated: "We're going to bork him. We're going to kill him politically. . . . This little creep, where did he come from?"

Happy to be of service. :bows
