A fact to consider: Clarence Thomas was confirmed by a Democratic-controlled Senate in 1991. A Judiciary Cmte chaired by Joe Biden sent him to the floor even though he failed to win a majority vote. Today Republicans don't plan to extend that for KBJ (Dems have to discharge). — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Graham suggests KBJ would not get thru a GOP-run Senate: "If we get back the Senate and we're in charge of this body, and there's judicial openings, we will talk to our colleagues on the other side. But if we were in charge, she would not have been before this committee." — PolitiTweet.org

Correct. The Biden-chaired Judiciary Committee sent Robert Bork to the floor with an unfavorable recommendation. He was rejected by an up-or-down vote of 42-58 (there was no filibuster). — PolitiTweet.org

@sahilkapur And Bork was sent to the floor despite a 9-5 committee vote against confirmation.
