Sandy: True, the Senate's lack of approval of Bork is viewed by Liberals as a victory, and the appointment of Thomas as a defeat. That is not the view of 100% of the people in this forum, however.

The use of the word, "we", as you use it in your posting is a bit strong. Had you used the word majority, which I'm sure reflects the feelings of the majority in the Mudcat, then I'm sure you would have been correct.

My opinion only, of course.
