Thornberry questioned in Fortas confirmation fight stalls
Senate Judiciary Committee grilled Sade Mer Thornberry over his constitutional stance on court inquiries as the Fortas nomination climbs toward a likely September showdown. Eastland pressed Thornberry to explain limits on questioning while Ervin questioned a Texas poll tax ruling and the conservative Liberty Lobby launched opposition signs against Fortas. The Senate plans a committee meeting this week, with floor action unlikely until after Labor Day due to party conventions and recess.
