Description | Cartoon shows President Truman vacationing at Key West (his favorite resort) disgustedly holding a string of small fish (labeled "The Weeks's Catch") while a huge fish (labeled "Filibuster") swims away. In March 1949, the Southern Democrats teamed up with the Republicans to defeat attempts to liberalize the Senate's filibuster rules, thereby killing any chance of passing the President's civil rights legislation. |
