I was alive then but didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. Would yall say Bork got worse treatment than Thomas?

[nwrep]

Yes, he did. In fact, Biden ultimately defended Thomas and pushed him over the finish line, but he never defended Bork....

[SMARTY]

What was done to Thomas was actionable... I mean, criminal libel

He could probably sue each and every one of them for what they did to him

From my recollection of both, Thomas got worse, but he didn't fold.

Ever since, Thomas was a foe of the Left.

[Vigilanteman]

Very tough to say. It was two different animals. I think the histrionics was worse with Bork, the character assassination was worse with Thomas.

In the end, Justice Thomas was confirmed and I think the process helped hm understand just how loony the Left is.

Had Thomas not been the right race, his advantage might not have made the difference. Not that they were both not extremely qualified, Bork just go worse treatment, for sure.
I for one, am sure Anita Hill was either paid off or threatened for her performance.

Definitely, yes: which is why “borked” is a verb.

Prior to that, a president was presumed to deserve the recognition of his appointment powers.

I think the confirmation rate wa above 9%.
