U S Justice Department to Appeal Rights Ruling
The Justice Department plans to appeal after a Georgia case challenged the Civil Rights Act's reach. Maddox’s Pickrick Restaurant closed August 13 following a temporary order, as the Atlanta panel upheld the act against segregated services while signaling questions on why restaurants were covered. The McClung suit initially named Robert Kennedy. Katzenbach replaced him after Kennedy’s resignation. The Fifth Circuit in Atlanta ruled public accommodations constitutional but left restaurant limits undecided. The Heart of Atlanta Motel suit sparked the challenge, with arguments the commerce power was overstepped. The McClung ruling was unanimous.
