Zax,
Bork received a hearing.
Which didn't make a damned difference, since the Democrats already decided beforehand to vote against him.

Reid suspended the rules on filibustering because various GOP members were obstructing dozens executive branch nominees for extraordinary amounts of time. Ant not because the nominees were unqualified.
The Democrats were doing the exact same thing for Bush's nominees, and not because any of them were unqualified.

It took the Gang of Eight to avert the "nuclear option," which later Reid implemented without any hesitation whatsoever.

Shutting down the government is about all the GOP is good for.
Given where Obama, Hillary, and the "democratic socialists" want to do with government, I'd say that's a GOOD thing.
