Memories of Senator Sam Ervin
In my late teens, prior to joining the Navy, I had ambitions that exceeded my financial means. I wanted to be a lawyer. Fate would provide a different path in my life, but in those days I used to go to the courthouse in Morganton, NC when I had a chance--just to watch the lawyers argue cases. I dreamed about someday being able to present cases like many of them did. Once in a while, the presiding Judge would stop everything and recognize Senator Ervin, who would show up in the court to watch the proceedings. Once recognized, the Senator would usually stand up and give some folksy, always humorous, anecdotal speech that made everyone smile---even the guilty. Of course, this was usually in traffic or small claims court. A lifelong Republican, I have to admit that I retain a great admiration for the intelligence, wit, and the man the Senator (a Democrat) was.

McCarthy hearings vs. Southern manifesto
How could Ervin be known for his role in taking down Sen. McCarthy in 1854 if Ervin was not elected to 1954 and did not take office until January 1955?
Ervin did sign the Southern Manifesto, which he certainly is more remembered for than any role in the McCarthy hearings. Nobs01 (talk) 08:08, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
