FILE - In this May 18, 1998 file photo, Robert Bork, a lobbyist for Netscape, meets reporters at the National Press Club in Washington to discuss the suit filed by the Justice Department and 20 state governments against Microsoft charging the software giant with using unfair tactics to crush competition and restrict choice for consumers. Robert H. Bork, who stepped in to fire the Watergate prosecutor at Richard Nixon's behest and whose failed 1980s nomination to the Supreme Court helped draw the modern boundaries of cultural fights over abortion, civil rights and other issues, has died. He was 85. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh
