The Death of Borking?

Daniel Henninger believes that when the Concerned Alumni of Princeton papers came up with nary a mention of Sam Alito, it marked the end of the era of Borking -- or at least of effective Borking.

I'm not so sure. Democrats will continue to "Bork" until they have some other, more effective way to defeat Republican nominees, and as Mr. Henninger himself points out, their lack of aptitude at both con law and interrogation seems to suggest that day is nowhere near.

Until then, every fair-minded person will simply have to hope that other nominees are like Sam Alito -- in that there are so indisputably personally and professionally qualified (and the trumped up charges against them so patently false) that the attempted Borking is revealed for the pathetic maneuver that it is.
