In 1970, Senator Roman Hruska (R-Neb.), defended G. Harold Carswell, Nixon's ill-fated nominee for the Supreme Court. Hruska said mediocre people had a right to representation by confirming Carswell, whom he conceded would be a mediocre Supreme Court justice.
From Wikipedia: "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."[1]
