Tell your husband that Abe Fortas was a crook, and LBJ was not running for re-election while trying to repay a political favor. That filibuster was bi-partisan.

Hmmm. Thanks for the info. Not sure I understand that LBJ part. BUT....myself must ask if a filibuster was used to deny Fortas a judicial appointment (if I understand this correctly) than on what basis are the Repubs stopping such filibusters now?

Because somewhere, out there, this is being fed to the unknowing public.
