Oh, dear---Dick Durbin---I wonder if he will pull out his pictures of the "negroes" that he talked about yesterday, and how the Civil Rights Act was filibustered....

THAT was an abomination, his speech yesterday!

I remember watching the Civil Rights filibuster on TV at the time. I was but a young lass but was mesmerized by the sight of those senators reading the bible late into the night.

I recall thinking 'all of this so black people can't attend college?' or some such. And yes, the southern Dems were the WORST. Although hey, as a young child it was my first exposure to the world of politics. Now THAT was a real filibuster.
