Yes. The Bork nomination was the one that seemed to change things up. After that it seemed to be a game of one-upmanship, to see if one party could knock-off the nominee of the other. Yet I'm hard-pressed to remember any democratic nominee gone after with such vitriol as some GOP nominees have been - is that true?
