Theodore Fulton "Ted" Stevens, Sr. (November 18, 1923 � August 9, 2010) was a United States Senator from Alaska, serving from December 24, 1968, until January 3, 2009, and thus the longest-serving Republican senator in history. He was President pro tempore in the 108th and 109th Congresses from January 3, 2003, to January 3, 2007, and the third senator to hold the title of President pro tempore emeritus.

Stevens served for six decades in the American public sector, beginning with his service in World War II. In the 1950s, he held senior positions in the Eisenhower Interior Department. He played key roles in legislation that shaped Alaska's economic and social development, including the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. He was also known for his sponsorship of the Amateur Sports Act of 1978, which resulted in the establishment of the United States Olympic Committee.

In 2008, Stevens was embroiled in a federal corruption trial as he ran for re-election to the Senate. He was found guilty, and eight days later was narrowly defeated at the polls. Six months later his conviction was dismissed on grounds of gross prosecutorial misconduct.

On August 9, 2010, Stevens died in a plane crash while en route to a private lodge.

OVER 100 MORE examples of Fox News Bias at www.youtube.com With Justice John Paul Stevens retiring from the US Supreme Court, Fox News has been spreading a common Republican talking point claiming that Supreme Court nominations were first politicized by the way DEMOCRATS reacted to Pres. Ronald Reagan's 1987 nomination of Robert Bork, but that talking point is not accurate as I show in this video. The clips I use of Fox News anchor Chris Wallace come from a segment of the Fox News program "Happening Now" broadcast on April 9, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online). The clip I use of Karl Rove criticizing Sen. Ted Kennedy during Kennedy's funeral comes from my video titled "Karl Rove Trashes Ted Kennedy on Day of Funeral?" available on YouTube at www.youtube.com The clips I use of MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show" come from the segment broadcast on April 9, 2010, available online at www.msnbc.msn.com And, finally, the image I use of Stephen Gillers' Cardozo Law Review article titled "The Compelling Case Against Robert H. Bork" comes from the webpage at heinonline.org
