True, but that feels like the first big political battle over a Supreme Court pick in the postwar era. Conservatives in the Senate were none too pleased about jurisprudence under the Warren court.

I mentioned Bork because Kennedy ended up on the court because Bork was rejected.

Crazy to think it’s still considered controversial the Senate did not confirm the guy who fired special counsel at Nixon’s behest, when his two predecessors refused and resigned, effectively aiding Nixon’s crimes, Bc Nixon promised him a Supreme Court seat.
