message: It would be nice to hear how he went from the Navy to the Army to the Marine Corps as the categories and citiation imply.  Does someone know the details?  Rlquall 20:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: One of these days I need to look up Stewart Brand's book on the Media Lab at MIT again and add more info about the Mansfield Amendment to this article.  It was a classic example of Mansfield's incredible incompetence as a politician (only in Montana could such an idiot be elected to public office) and an example of why the University of Montana's reputation is so bad today (because its alumni lack the intelligence or capacity to ably manage American science and technology policy).  --Coolcaesar (talk) 11:37, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mansfield Amendment

message: I read the link discussing Mansfield's supposed opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and I don't think it says what the author thought. The paragraph reads: 
"Because the Senate Judiciary Committee failed to act on proposed civil rights legislation just seven years earlier, Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield filed a procedural motion to prevent the Civil Rights Act of 1964 from being referred to the Committee.  Despite opposition to the motion from Senators opposed to the Civil Rights Act, Mansfield successfully prevented the bill from being referred to the Committee."
To me, what appears to have happened was that Mansfield filed the motion to have the act discussed by the Senate as a whole rather than by the Judiciary Committee, which had killed a civil rights bill seven years prior. Were it the case that Mansfield himself had been opposed to the bill, I don't think the Senate website would have highlighted the "opposition to the motion from Senators opposed to the Civil Rights Act." 
I am removing the portions of this article that describe Mansfield as having been opposed to the Civil Rights Act, but invite anyone to reinsert them if they can come up with better evidence to suggest that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Segregold (talk • contribs) 17:29, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
