In 1970 President Richard Nixon nominated Court of Appeals Judge G. Harrold Carswell of Florida to the United States Supreme Court. There was considerable opposition to the nomination based on the claim that the judge was mediocre. In the Senate, Carswell was defended by Roman Hruska R (NE) as follows: ''Even if he were mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, and a little chance? We can't have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos.''
