Bork got a vote and was voted down. Garland didn't even get a vote.
If you remember, Bork demanded a vote.
I don't understand the reasoning behind complaining that Garland didn't get a vote for which he was not going to be confirmed. Why put him through the embarrassment of that?

No. After Clinton got into the office is when the Republicans changed course and turned into a super partisan hacks. It's when the Republicans started referring to Democrats as the "enemy". Something that shocked the landscape back then and their rage only got more intense as time passed.

The GOP spent over a year blocking the Democrats' nominee. What goes around comes around.
