LBJ did nominate Fortas, he was his friend and onetime personal lawyer.

***although, to be fair, Fortas was on the SC already.***

True but his elevation to CJ was scuttled by his own demoncrat party. That's why Dirksen called off the filibuster, he didn't need one.

And besides his tiny legal problem, Fortas was an LBJ crony. That mirrors Miers to a tee.

Just say NO to Cronies!
