I remember all too well the disgusting process with Robert Bork, an eminently qualified jurist.

Edit added: not to mention Clarence Thomas.

We could debate Bork, though it's well past the point of doing so. But Thomas was massively unqualified for the court. As I'm typing this, I'm trying to think back over the last twenty years or so of SC nominees. I can't think of a one that gets even close in terms of lack of qualification.

Debates about Bork, Roberts and Alito go to, in my view, the function of the SC.
