game.

From the article:

Previous nominees who had failed in the Senate were suspected of corruption (Abe Fortas) or thought unqualified (Harrold Carswell). Bork was defeated because of distortions about his jurisprudence. This began the modern era of hyper-politicized judicial nominations, though for the Supreme Court it has largely been a one-way partisan street.

Of course, even after Bork it took the Republicans awhile to decide they were going to play by the same hardball rules the Democrats had wrought.
