Senate unit backs broader Southern bill over justice objections
A Senate Judiciary Committee vote 7-2 approved a Southern sponsored bill that would keep state sedition laws in force unless Congress acts to take over the field. The measure, backed by McClellan and 11 Southern senators, extends beyond the Bridges proposal and has drawn opposition from the Justice Department, which warned it would disrupt existing laws and federal supremacy in antisubversive statutes.
