No actually, I just looked this up. Reagan nominated Robert Bork in July 1987. And you know what happened then. The Dems just nicely rolled over and were “collegial,” saying “elections have consequences,” and confirmed Bork - not.

Ahh... I missed that. Thanks.

Still, a June 1987 vacancy (T-18 months from the election) is not the same as a February 2016 vacancy (T-9 months).
