NAACP Attacks Rehnquist in Supreme Court Nomination
The NAACP urged the Senate Judicial Committee to reject William Rehnquist for the Supreme Court, charging a pattern of opposition to Black Americans in civil rights areas. Clarence Mitchell cited 1964 Phoenix actions against public accommodations, denounced civil rights demonstrators, opposed desegregation efforts, and alleged voting-rights interference. Rehnquist defended his positions, saying he opposed long-distance busing for racial balance and acted to ensure proper voting challenges as an arbiter.
