He lost 58-42 with 6 Republicans voting against him (6 Republican voting against him after knowing that the Dems already had the votes is a testimony to how out-of-the-mainstream this freak was). He is just the type of reactionary weirdo that today's GOP still favors.

What about the Dems who voted for him? And a moderate Repub - Gerald Ford - was asked to introduce him at the confirmation hearing, and called him "uniquely qualified".

I see that you're quite happy that the Dems started, and continue, to turn the SCOTUS nomination process into a circus, and an ideological inquisition.

Sorry, but its your friends the Dems who give us a nomination process where nominees are demonized just because they have a point of view differs from the hard left. And as the Dems have drifted further left, the process just gets worse.
