Humphrey Challenges GOP to Produce on Civil Rights
Sen. Humphrey urged the Eisenhower administration to lead on civil rights and get congressional action, replying to Nixon's New York speech that Democrats show weakness. He cited 83rd Congress GOP bills, urged bipartisan help, and contrasted Supreme Court politics with constitutional duty. Stennis and Hill pressed similar critiques during the exchange. Democratic National Chairman Butler voiced shock at party-politicizing the court.
