Jury Trial Cloture Debate Amid Civil Rights Legislation
The weekly White House breakfast crowd heard Mansfield report that reasonable men may vote on the jury trial amendment. Sen Thrustan Merton and Southern supporters push the measure, now in its 74th day of Senate consideration. Mortons amendment would guarantee jury trials in criminal contempt cases under all titles except voting rights, with limits tied to penalties. Humphrey acknowledges potential adoption as Senate works through related amendments on desegregation and employment discrimination.
