Skeptics with points
The floor of the White House, Capitol Hill was perfectly clear: the fight with the administration of the new bill of rights to vote, but it happens quickly. Sentiment that the Congress was only that, but there were some skeptics and it took a number of points.
Among them was North Carolina Democrat Sam Ervin, a former member of his state Supreme Court, from now a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. At the start of hearings before the Committee, Ervin Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach seven hours.
Most dispersed Net. Ervin noted that the bill provides to vote at the federal level registers are sent to countries and districts, where literacy tests and, where 50% of citizens eligible age and residence did not been registered, either because the November 1, 1964, or shall not vote in the elections of 1964. This would net farflung begin a series of states and districts, where almost nobody argues that discrimination exists: in a county of Maine, for example, and any State of Alaska.
But Ervin wanted to know why only 44% of respondents old enough to participate in the vote during the year 1964 goes to the polls in Lyndon Johnson’s own Texas? Schnappte Katzenbach: “tax”. Why just over 50% of vote in New York City, where a “test of competence is no sin south?” Katzenbach, said: “This is a test of English language,” and he believes that thousands of Puertoricaner Register.
Ervin smarting was obvious, because the formula of 34 counties of North Carolina, relatively southernmost state on citizens’ rights. He received Katzenbach admit that the Department of Justice have evidence of discrimination in one of these 34 counties.
“Boom!” Ervin said: “I think this is a Bill of Attainder refuse, because there are states and counties of certain powers to them, without trial. No, Katzenbach said. Even if the State or political subdivision falls under 50% of the formula when he says that non-discrimination, and the federal government can not evidence of discrimination, then, “Boom! Summary judgement of the state. This is already “.
Ah, said Ervin, but the state or province, “a thousand miles hitchhiked to come here.” What he said was that the bill provides that a court of three judges in the District of Columbia is the only way to decide these things, the provision was included in the bill maintain law issues vote in the hands of measures segregation Southern judges. Ervin said: “This seals the door of every courthouse except that in the District of Columbia.” He also stressed that rules of court allow DC to witness quoted by the single circle and a radius of 100 miles that surrounds it. For Ervin affirmation General Katzenbach contends that the trial record indicates that the South “, please come here that the Supreme Court, to discuss their calls for integration cases.
