Immunity bill on witnesses may test Fifth Amendment
The bill passed by Congress would grant limited immunity to witnesses in conspiracy to overthrow the government and related cases if they invoke the Fifth Amendment first and meet specific approvals. Immunity can lead to disclosures about Communism but prompts constitutional clashes and potential courtroom battles. If a witness refuses immunity, contempt and jail could follow. The law’s reach beyond federal courts to state prosecutions remains unsettled, awaiting Supreme Court guidance.
