Bork vows to fight on in bid for Supreme Court
In a White House appearance Robert H. Bork rejected withdrawing from the fight for Senate confirmation. He warned that a withdrawal would embolden a campaign of distortion and said the principle at stake is how leaders who guard liberties are chosen. President Reagan backed Bork, while opponents push a likely defeat as AP counts show 53 against. Dole called the decision courageous but unlikely to change the outcome. Bork argued nominees should not be judged by public polls, and he criticized the nomination process as driven by politics. He spoke after meeting Reagan and aides and left without questions. Critics say his view on civil rights and liberties is too narrow.
