question or the evidence I have already produced.
The Senate had a long history of approving presidential nominees to the Supreme Court, regardless of their political views, UNLESS there was suspected corruption or the nominee was unqualified.

That all changed with Bork. Do you know of any other nominee whose name became a dictionary definition after being rejected?
