Anxious to take on his critics in . public, Federal Appeals Judge Robert Bork is resigning from the bench. It was nearly three months ago that the Senate voted 58 to 42 to reject Bork's nomination to . the Supreme Court after liberal groups rallied forces against his conservative views. In a letter accepting Bork's resignation, President Reagan calls the Senate vote "a tragedy for our country." In his letter of resignation, Judge Bork charges that various groups and individuals distorted his record and p hilosop h y, and misrepresented the role of judges in our system, Bork says he didn't feel; he could speak out while he was still serving as a judge on the Federal Appeals Court in Washingtqn- so he wants to place himself where he can speak freely.
