The irony with the Bork nomination was that his opponents often characterized him as supporting overturning Brown v Board and Roe v Wade, which he actually never said, and made scant noise about his views on anti-trust laws. Bork's most pronounced contribution to American jurisprudence was the evisceration of Anti-Trust law and regulations. If you look at his position on Anti-Trust Law, his basic premise is that business activities are only anti-competitive if they effect the end consumer in their capacity as such. In other words, as long as consumers get lower prices everything is fine.

The problem with this argument is that it has led to an increased concentration of economic power, which has directly led to job losses, many of them the white, pink and grey collar jobs that used to provide a good standard of living to many non-college educated people in the Midwest. It has in effect, directly led to the modern Trump-publican Party.
