• ... that Judge Robert Bork's leaked list of video rentals included movies such as Citizen Kane, The Philadelphia Story and Sixteen Candles? Source: https://www.upi.com/Archives/1987/09/26/LEGAL-VIEW/5718559627200/ (among others in the article)

  • Comment: A weird little moment in history was when jurist Robert Bork of the D.C. Circuit had his personal video rental history leaked during his contentious (and ultimately unsuccessful) Supreme Court nomination. I created the article just recently on September 5, 2023.

Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: None required.

Overall: @GuardianH: Looks good—I made a few edits to the article, but nothing that substantially affects its suitability for DYK. Created September 5; readable prose size is currently 4097 characters (669 words); scrupulously sourced and reasonably neutral; no apparent copyright violations, with Earwig's Detector only picking up properly cited quotations and incidental shards of text like book titles and names of statutes; no QPQ is required (although this should be the author's fifth DYK, so going forward that'll be required); hook itself is cited and sufficiently interesting. Good work! A weird little moment, indeed. —blz 2049 ➠ ❏ 01:46, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
