Nomination of Fortas Draws GOP Fire in Congress
President Johnson's pick Abe Fortas for the Supreme Court faced Republican criticism in Congress. House members questioned his independence due to close ties to the White House and past roles, while Fortas supporters defended his talent and integrity amid controversy. The Senate Judiciary Committee postponed its hearing to Aug. 12 at Fortas' request, a move not seen as undermining his likely confirmation. Fortas also faced scrutiny over ties to Bobby Baker and management of a trust for the President's media properties.
