Abstract
Robert Bork's failed confirmation was a watershed moment for the conservative counterrevolution in the federal court system and the consequences on the courts within the United States have gone underappreciated by mainstream historical accounts of the later 20th century.My thesis attempts to contextualize Bork's confirmation process within the broader political climate and the conservative counterrevolution.Additionally, my thesis examines the cascading ramifications of the Reagan administration's influence on the federal courts well into the 21st century.My research points to the Reagan administration's legacy leading to subsequent changes in the tone of Supreme Court decisions, and examines key cases that exemplify the historical push to the right.La confirmation de Robert Bork a été le point de départ d'une contre-révolution conservatrice dans le système judiciaire fédéral et ses progrès négligés ont des conséquences dévastatrices pour les Américains et les tribunaux aux États-Unis.Ma thèse tente de contextualiser le processus de confirmation de Bork dans le climat politique plus large et dans la contre-révolution conservatrice.De plus, ma thèse examine les ramifications en cascade de l'échec de l'administration Reagan sur le processus global de confirmation ainsi que sur la Cour suprême dans son ensemble.Il démontre le ton changeant des décisions de la Cour suprême et examine des cas clés qui illustrent la poussée historique vers la droite.The rest of the paper can be long winded so I will keep this part brief.To my friends, and family, who supported my research and writing, and encouraged each draft, To my classmates who influenced my research, and gave me new ideas, To Professors Wendell Nii Laryea Adjetey, Edward Dunsworth, and most importantly, Leonard Moore, who guided me towards new ideas, and forced me to reexamine my own initial conclusions, and who continue to inspire me, Thank you."Our worries are over," [a friend] said."The end of the Reagan Administration-against the backdrop of the Iran arms scandal, the defeat of Robert Bork and the disgrace of Ed Meese-effectively ends the Reagan Revolution and the New Right's threat to our civil liberties." 1 -Ira Glasser, former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
