In 1962, the Democrats recapture control of the Senate after ten years in the minority. However, many of the new Democratic senators are hard-line Southern and Midwestern conservatives hostile to the Kennedy administration and the Supreme Court's civil rights rulings. They will quickly ally themselves with holdover conservatives of both parties. Republicans keep control of the House of Representatives. It will be a fateful development. Despite the departure of Joseph McCarthy, the new Congress will be dominated by people holding bitter grudges against both President Kennedy and Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, and will lose no time in acting upon their hostility.
