>Here's what I found....looks legit but in addition to the political support he was trying to lock in, he didn't think the bill was strong enough... I've seen that post before. Look at the sources it cites. Not one actually says he voted against the bill. Right after the final vote, Kennedy was quoted as saying that one of the leaders instrumental in the bill's passage (Frank Church, IIRC), was a "hero" for making it happen. I know Kennedy's record in the '50s on civil rights was a little spotty, but I just can't find that he was against the Civil Rights Act of 1957. -Z
