Jury Trial Clause Eliminated in Voting Rights Bill Fight
In Washington, Democrats and Republicans joined to defeat a bid to require jury trials in contempt cases tied to voting rights enforcement. The 199-187 House vote kept the bill on course for passage, despite procedural delays and Southern opposition. A noted exchange centered on whether jury trials should exist for defendants in civil rights enforcement actions, with critics arguing it would hinder the measure’s aims and supporters saying it protected the bill’s effectiveness in the South.
