v.
To attack a political opponent in a particularly vicious, partisan manner.
Example Citation:
"With similar regret, other Capitol Hill veterans insist there truly were better times of partisan disputation focused on ideas — before 'to Bork' was coined as a political attack verb, from the undermining of a Republican Supreme Court nominee.
— Francis X. Clines, "Partisan Rancor: Not Always So Bad for the National Soul," The New York Times
