Jewish Groups Oppose
Bork Nomination
Washington (JTA) — Op-
position to the nomination of
Judge Robert Bork to a seat
on the Supreme Court is
mounting in the Jewish com-
munity. The Jewish War Vet-
erans last week became the
fifth Jewish organization to
voice its protest.
"Contrary to the Admini-
stration rhetoric surrounding
Bork's nomination, the issue
is one of ideology and the
Supreme Court . is not well
served by extremist posi-
tions," said the statement
issued by Edwin Goldwasser,
the group's national
commander.
The statement by the
Jewish War Veterans, a
mainstream organization,
suggests the extent to which
Bork's nomination is meeting
opposition in the Jewish com-
munity. Worried about Bork's
stand on minority and
women's rights and church/
state issues, some Jewish
groups which do not tradi-
tionally oppose presidential
appointments, consider this
one fight where they can not
remain on the sidelines.
Along with the Jewish War
Veterans, the Union of
American Hebrew Congrega-
tions (UAHC), American
Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith
Women, National Council of
Jewish Women and New Jew-
ish Agenda are opposing the
Bork nomination. The Na-
tional Jewish Coalition has
come out in support of the
nomination, maintaining
that Bork is "eminently
qualified" to serve on the
court and that "neither
ideology no political oppor-
tunism should prevent him
from doing sot'
But sources are saying that
other Jewish groups will have
to oppose Bork if the Jewish
community is going to have
an impact on the nomination.
It was recently reported that
three Jewish Senators invited
several Jewish organizations
to send represantatives to a
close-door meeting to urge
them to take a more active
stand.
