Big Brother reforms threaten labor rights and press freedoms
The article by Harold Cammar argues that the S.1 criminal justice reform bill would redefine espionage to resemble an Official Secrets Act, endanger press reporting on watergate and Pentagon papers, curb judicial oversight with wiretaps, and harshly penalize labor actions. It warns of overturning Warren Court protections, expanding capital punishment, and expanding anti racketeering to penalize unions for peaceful activity. It cites the Emmons decision and describes broader risks to working people and civil liberties.
