I am Robert Heron Bork. Born on March 1, 1927, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have traversed the realms of academia, government service, and the judiciary, most notably as the Solicitor General of the United States and a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. My journey culminated in a contentious Supreme Court nomination process that left a lasting impact on American legal and political history. My legal philosophy centers on originalism and antitrust principles, shaping my contributions to legal scholarship and public discourse.
