President Reagan names conservative Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court, ignoring warnings of a political firestorm and a key ally’s plea for a Southerner. Expect a fierce confirmation fight with broad opposition from liberal groups and strong lobbying efforts. Bork’s stance on abortion and affirmative action heightens the stakes as Powell’s vacancy leaves a pivotal swing vote.
