	Wayne L. Morse: A Political Maverick
		Morse had agreed with certain goals of the China Lobby, namely the prevention of the US recognition of Red China and seating it in the UN, ousting government officials that were opposed to financing the return of Chiang-Kai Shek, and helping to elect those friendly to Chiang in China.
		Morse's continued assault on the practice of wiretapping was not fruitless and in June of 1954 the bill died before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
		Senator Morse's ability to use the proper methods to discipline Senator McCarthy was not another case of him bowing to McCarthy's power; it was a representation of the profound respect he had for civil liberties.

		This biography of Oregon's Wayne Morse breaks both of these common ground rules, raising the question of whether it is worthy of such double-barreled special treatment.
		Regardless of this particular account's merits, however, Morse himself has notable historical significance for two reasons: as a prime example of the distinctive character of Pacific Northwest politics and for his influence in national affairs, especially as a U.S. senator from 1945 to 1969.
		Morse also gained renown for frequent floor speeches, heated debates, record-setting filibusters, and parliamentary maneuvers to block proposals he considered undesirable, such as the nomination of Clare Boothe Luce as ambassador to Brazil.

		Although Morse is known outside of Oregon mainly for his vitreolic attacks on the Johnson administration's war policy, Vietnam is a minor issue here.
		Packwood is everything that Morse isn't: he's predictable, pragmatic, somewhat superficial, and in supreme contrast to Morse, bland.
		Nevertheless, Morse supporters are counting on McCarthy-style house-to-house campaigning, along with some heavy spending on TV & advertising to pull Oregon's old populist through the toughest campaign he has ever fought.

		Wayne Morse understood that the right of free speech is meaningless if citizens remain silent in the face of injustice.
		Because of Senator Morse’s legendary battles on behalf of civil rights and civil liberties – and against the Vietnam War, we sometimes overlook what I consider to be his most important contribution to free speech: Making education a national priority.
		This remarkable package of laws is one of Wayne Morse’s greatest legacies – not only to education, but also to the ideals of free thought, democratic debate, and the rule of law.

		Ironically, Morse's was also the decisive vote that could have made or broken partisan control of the Senate.
		But Morse continued to vote for a GOP majority leader because he said it would be dishonorable for him to hand over control to Democrats having been elected as a Republican.
		Morse remained an independent throughout that time until the 1954 elections delivered firm control of the Senate to Democrats, whereupon he became a Democrat.
