Byrd Attacks Civil Rights Bill as Federal Overreach
Sen. Byrd denounces the administration civil rights bill, likening Chief Justice Warren to Thaddeus Stevens and warning it would cede voting power to the federal government. He calls the measure an “iniquitous bill,” argues it threatens state suffrage reservations, and fears a federally empowered justice system and witch-hunt mechanisms. He cites Supreme Court trends and warns of jail without jury trial.
