You decide.
Even Before Alito Hearings, the Verdicts Are InUm, Senator? That was Johnson. Goldwater never got elected...Briefly, Kennedy rewrote the outcome of the 1964 election. "This nominee was influenced by the Goldwater presidency," he said. "The Goldwater battles of those times were the battles against the civil rights laws." Only then did Kennedy acknowledge that "Judge Alito at that time was 14 years old."
Okay, a verbal faux pas. But...but... GOLDWATER? Sheesh. You'd think Ted Kennedy would have remembered.
