This article does not address the most historically important aspect of Hendrickson's career in the US Senate:his support of Margaret Chase Smith in her "Declaration of Conscience" opposing McCarthy on June 1,1950 and the role McCarthy's subsequent treatment of Hendrickson played in his ultimate condemnation by the Senate. The belated condemnation,of course, led to McCarhty's fall from power, desertion by the media, and ultimately to his drinking himself to death. The story of the Senate's rejection of the worst thug and demagogue in its history and whose influence continues to be felt to this day begins and ends with Hendrickson. This article is in urgent need of revision by a qualified expert.156.98.129.16 (talk) 16:35, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
