Never in history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to cut off a filibuster on a civil rights bill. Nine days later the Senate approved the act itself.

And Senator Al Gore, Sr., Democrat from Tennessee voted against it.

As an aside, Senator Everett Dirksen is generally credited with the quote, "a billion here and a billion there; pretty soon you're talking real money." Who would have ever believed back then we would be throwing around trillions like confetti?

Why Republicans never hang overt racism around the necks of Demoncrats kills me. We have enough fodder to last a lifetime! Robert “KKK” Bird is their conscience...LOL!

On June 10, 1964, Democrats’ 57-day filibuster of the Civil Rights Act ended. In spite of this, the democrats still juke the black people into voting for them. Kinda sad, isn’t it?
