Robert H. Bork

Robert H. Bork was an influential American legal scholar and judge, known for his conservative views on the U.S. Constitution and antitrust law. He served as a U.S. Court of Appeals judge and gained national attention during his controversial 1987 Supreme Court nomination, which was ultimately rejected by the Senate. Bork's writings, particularly on the concept of "originalism," aimed to interpret the Constitution based on its original meaning. His ideas have had a lasting impact on conservative legal thought and have sparked significant debate on judicial philosophy and the role of the judiciary in American governance.
