Well, given that he was pro-civil rights in 1958...
^^
He ran as a racial moderate in 1958. Had he won, and got on the ticket with JFK in 1960 and then took office in 1963, he very well might have signed it.

Given LBJ never gave a speech where he demanded "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever", and in fact fought for Civil Rights + elimination of poverty from day 1 of his Presidency, I think comparisons between him and Wallace are, shall we say, lacking in intellectual ability.
Says the guy who hasn't noticed any of the posts about the 1958 Wallace verse the 1962 Wallace Roll Eyes. Wallace was for Wallace above all, just like LBJ. Their actions-signing the CRA or standing in the school house day-still doesn't change the person. Politicians will always practice politics after all.
