You're hearing voices again, no one ever said that. Maybe take off your tin foil hat once in awhile to air out the cobwebs between your ears.

I said Bork was qualified, and was the first nominee to be rejected for political reasons. You may not like that. That doesn't mean I'm wrong. Before Bork, it was understood that if the POTUS nominated someone who was qualified, both partied would support the nomination. It wasn't a purely political exercise like it is now.
Untrue other nominees were rejected or never reviewed
It has always been a political exercise, not a rubber stamp
And it was not designed as such

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
