...course, this is hardly the first time the Senate has tried its best to ruin good legislation. Opposition to the Social Security Act came overwhelming from the Senate Finance Committee, which did its best to turn the act into the stingy—and straight-up racist??bill that was eventually passed. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 had to be watered down at the last minute by Senate GOP leader Everett Dirksen and then-Senators Hubert Humphrey and Robert F.

Bronshtein begins his editorial by stating that he differs from the protesters in that he “support[s] Spencer Gifts’ right to produce” the T-shirts.
