U.S. Senator from Nebraska from 1954-1976. Previously, he had represented the state as a
U.S. Congressman (1953-1954). Hruska is best known for a comment he made regarding
President Richard Nixon's Supreme Court nominee Harold Carswell.Hearing someone accuse
Carswell of mediocrity, Hruska responded that there were many mediocre people and judges,
and mediocrity deserved representation on the Court. Despite Hruska's controversial
speech, the Carswell nomination was rejected. He was also a staunch supporter of
Richard Nixon, even after the Watergate Scandal. Rippled. Otherwise, fine condition.
