Thank You for the info.
I am not real aware of the history of the filibuster of judges. I can see why. It is a recent phenomenon. I too thought they were supposed to get an up or down vote until Bork.
Abe Fortas was the only USSC nomination filibustered.
Bork was "borked". The Judiciary Committee voted 9 to 5 against him, and the full Senate voted 58-42 against his nomination to the USSC.
