lyndon johnson. republicans put up the wall. slow walk the nomination hearings and when the hearing finally did take place, senators learned that not only judge fortes have been hanging around the white house of meetings and they learned that he had been taking money from a local university to teach a course. he's been moonlighting and putting 40% of his salary on the court. >> democrats started taking back their support one by one and he had to withdraw from consideration to be chief justice. he went back to his old job being a regular judge on the court. that meant president johnson had to withdraw the nomination.
