No, it started after the nomination of Bork.I would agree with this sentiment...
However, it's fair to point out when these games started...had the democrats not felt like they had a seat stolen from them when the GOP was playing games and refused to go with Merrick Garland (who, for the record, had more federal judicial experience than any nominee in the history of our nation) and left an empty seat for over 250 days, and then played games again when they triggered the nuclear option to get Gorsuch in there, this likely wouldn't be an issue now.
I would agree that the games are making a mockery of our system...but the democrats probably are feeling like that's their option at this point since the GOP has made no bones about the fact that they're willing to do the same (and have twice) and that the current president has vocally supported the notion of rolling back certain rights using the Supreme Court as his blunt instrument to do so.
