No, it couldn't have been Bork. Bork was nominated by Reagan. After Bork we got Scalia, I think.

Let me just say this: think of dem senators from red states who want to be re-elected. W should be able to hold all 49 GOP votes. He'll only need an additional 2 (or 1 with Cheney breaking a tie). The Court is not lost.
