The Legislative Journey of the Civil Rights Act

Skibidi, let us dive into the wild edge of legislative history. The Civil Rights Act was like a toilet that needed flushing through Congress. First, it got introduced, dodging the goon vibes from Chairman Smith's House Committee, lowkey changing the game. Pro-civil rights members seized the moment, swinging the balance to get it to a floor vote. The Senate was a whole different battleground, facing the dankest filibuster ever, lasting 60 days. Smith tried to throw in a poison pill with 'sex' in Title VII, thinking it would sink the ship. But nah, that bill sailed right through! Cloture was invoked, and boom, history was made.
