Robert Bork’s Romney Connection

Meet Mitt Romney’s new top legal adviser, the failed Supreme Court nominee who facilitated Richard Nixon’s "Saturday Night Massacre." Robert Bork tells Lloyd Grove why he can’t forgive Ted Kennedy, opposes Obama, and more.

It’s a safe bet that Robert Bork’s obituary—whenever that cheerless day arrives—will bang on for many paragraphs about his historic role in Richard Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre” at the height of the Watergate scandal, and his ordeal as Ronald Reagan’s spectacularly doomed Supreme Court nominee, before it mentions that he was Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign legal adviser.
