Has there ever been a filibuster of a Supreme Court nominee?

Does "Borking" count as a filibuster?

No Borking does not count as a filibuster. Sadly Bork was voted down, but he did get a confirmation vote in the full Senate.

I'd say no, Bork was knocked out of contention in committee. Others would say that counts as a filibuster. All depends on how one defines "filibuster."

The Democrats led by the vile Ted Kennedy made nominations into a dirty. game.
