Yea, Bork was the one nominated before Kennedy who failed due to concerns about his record on civil rights. I don't know much more beyond that. I think the Democrats were happy to confirm Kennedy because he was not an extremist like Bork.
Little did the Democrats know, they could have just....not held a vote, ever.
Much simpler than demanding a less shit judge be nominated.
