Kleindienst Predicts Senate Confirmation of Carswell
Deputy Attorney General Kleindienst voiced confidence that the Senate would confirm Judge G. Harrold Carswell to the Supreme Court. He argued the opponents were politically motivated and noted endorsements from Sen. John Sherman Cooper and 11 of Carswell's Fifth Circuit colleagues as signs of momentum. He said a motion to recommit would fail and discussed potential withdrawal by Nixon if recommittal succeeded.

Cranston accuses DOJ pressure over Carswell letter
Sen. Alan Cranston charged the Justice Department pressured a black civil rights attorney to write a letter praising Judge G Harrold Carswell for his Supreme Court nomination. An affidavit from Vincent H Cohen cited Wilson saying the letter was written at DOJ request and that Carswell shows bias toward civil rights attorneys. Cranston cited Wilson as an apparent exception and noted broader opposition among civil rights lawyers. The issue surfaces as Carswell’s confirmation faces renewed Senate scrutiny amid party politics.
