I realize politics can be a nasty business, but the fact is what's going on here is a plain old Borking.

'Borking', -- a verb meaning "to attack a person's reputation and views unfairly".

I agree, the mans reputation is being smeared.
However, fair questions are being raised about his constitutional views on war-making powers, - questions that he has not [to date] answered satisfactorily.

So, - just like Bork, he has brought the whirlwind down on his own head.

I know there's some legitimate questions involved, but I don't see this as having the potential to provide any rational answers.

While they may have accomplished their immediate goal, I think that ultimately Bork's detractors did more long-term damage to their own reputations than they did his.
