	Washington Council of Lawyers
		In 1970, a group of liberal Washington attorneys ran a campaign to oppose President Nixon's nomination of Harold Carswell to Supreme Court justice.
		The WCL grew out of the devotion of lawyers, mainly those who ran the campaign against Carswell, who disagreed with the mindset of the then-voluntary D.C. Bar.
		One of the Council's first successful events was a Counter Law Day Luncheon, organized to protest the D.C. Bar Association's decision to select Robert Mardian, Assistant Attorney General for Internal Security under President Richard Nixon, as the speaker for a 1972 luncheon.

		Lou, The name Harold Carswell didn’t ring a bell so I googled him and came up with something rather unpleasant.
		Well, when I mentioned Carswell, I knew that Blackmun was the replacement and that that fact would weaken my suggestion that Miers had been an "Economy of Force" attack all along.
		The idea is to feint, as we did in the Battle of Saipan or in Gulf War I, to make the enemy defend in the wrong place at the wrong time.

		Step back and you see that standing next to Bork is a long line of failed nominees: Abe Fortas, Homer Thornberry, Clement Haynsworth, G. Harold Carswell, and Douglas Ginsburg.
		The first thing you notice about the members of this group is that they were nominated by three relatively recent presidents: Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, each of whom lost two nominees.
		Nixon, furious, told advisor Harry Dent, “I want you to go out this time and find a good federal judge further south and further to the right.” Dent found G. Harold Carswell, who in 1948 had publicly endorsed segregation.

		After the Fortas filibuster, the Senate rejected outright two of President Nixon's nominees to the Supreme Court, Clement Haynsworth (45-55) and G. Harold Carswell (48-51).
		That refusal to block nominees by filibuster is most dramatic and important in the context of the Supreme Court.
		The Supreme Court nominations that most divided the Senate since the Haynsworth and Carswell defeats were those of William Rehnquist (1972 and 1986) and Clarence Thomas (1991).

		in 1969, Harold Carswell in 1970, Robert Bork in 1987 and Clarence Thomas in 1991.” These reasons, Chemerinsky says are Roberts’s “staunch conservatism,” and the theory that he would “join with the most conservative justices to change the law in a conservative direction.”
		Among the astonishing howlers in Chemerinsky’s analysis are his claims that “Bork was not defeated because of a smear campaign,” and that Justice Anthony Kennedy has been “a solid conservative,” but let’s let those pass.
