Senate fate of civil rights bill hinges on Knowland Nixon ruling
Debate centers on timing and procedural moves as Knowland and Nixon would control initial action. Fifteen Democrats led by Douglas back keeping the House bill in the Senate without committee review, with Javits aligned. Southern foes doubt victory if the bill reaches the floor, facing two potential filibusters requiring 64 votes to limit debate. The choice to bypass the Judiciary Committee threatens the Senate's system, says Eastland, while Ives argues the Senate may act without full committee study. If calendared, advocates gain a version without the judiciary's jury trial amendment but still confront two filibusters.
