Oped by @JohnCornyn analogous to Kennedy speech against Bork. If R's rally to Cornyn & D's hedge, hard path to confirm: http://at.cnn.com/SC7CIGX
@dansenor But Dan, Kennedy speech against Bork was a disgrace. This isn't anything like that, or shouldn't be.

@ByronYork Then Kennedy came out strong. His speech signaled unexpected political fight. Liberals mobilized, some R’s broke, & Bork lost (2) -
@dansenor Comparison won't sit well with Rs. You're sensitive to accusation of smearing Hagel. Well, Kennedy smeared Bork. Flawed analogy. -
@ByronYork No smear campaign against Hagel. Wrong & unfair for so many reasons. But ok to educate on how voting record is outside mainstream -
@dansenor I agree. That's why bad idea to bring up Kennedy/Bork example, which was, in fact, a smear campaign.
