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.

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

September 1987. Robert Bork hearings. The Supreme Court nominee defended his role in carrying out Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre. This did not help his cause. https://t.co/81o1MGfLYE — PolitiTweet.org
