WASHINGTON-Senate de
bate on the proposed five
year extension of the'Voting
Rights Act of 1965 has again
focused attention on how a
so-called civil rights law can
ignore constitutional prin
ciples if such a law affects
only Southern States.
The Voting Rights Act of
1965, which, has since been
upheld in a split decision of
the Supreme Court, is an
iniquitous piece of legislation
designed to usurp the un
doubted constitutional powers
of seven Southern States to
prescribe voting qualifica
tions. Last year the admin
istration proposed to extend
the act for a period of five
years, but to make it applic
able to all of the states by
deleting the so-called “trig
ger” formula from the act.
That formula brought states
and counties under the act, if
a state or county had a liter
acy test in effect on Novem
ber 1, 1964 and if less than
50 per cent of the voting age
residents were registered or
voted in the 1964 presidential
election.
Under the automatic “trig
ger” formula of the 1965 act,
five Southern States and cer
tain counties in two other
Southern States became sub
ject to punitive action by the
federal government. Federal
voting examiners could move
in automatically to supervise
voter registration in these
areas.
Not only was the 1965 act
Southern-oriented, but it vio
lated the constitutional pow
ers given the states to pre
scribe voter qualifications in
a tyrannical fashion which
no court would sanction for
the punishment of a common
criminal. In essence, what
Congress did in writing the
1965 Voting Rights Act and

SCOPEioo,
super size
what the Supreme Court sub
sequently approved in the
case of South Carolina vs.
Katzenbach, was to enact a
bill of attainder to condemn
certain state officials and the
peoples of their states with
out giving them a judicial
trial. Moreover, this act ac
tually took away the rights
given to the states in four
separate provisions of the
Constitution.
On December 11 the House
passed the administration’s
proposal to extend the 1965
Voting Rights Act for a
period of five years. The
bill as it came to the Sen
ate did have the virtue of
uniform application to all of
the states.
In the Senate, however,
Senators Hart and Scott of
fered a substitute bill which
sought to leave the 1§65 act
provisions applicable only
against qeyen Southern States
and extend the existing law
for another |ive years.
I shall offer an amend
ment to provide that if the
1965 act is extended for an
other five years that the sta
tistical base be changed to
the 1968 Presidential election.
It seems to me to be basically
unfair to say that no matter
what positive actions the
states and voters take to reg
ister between 1984 and 1968,
the seven Southern States
cannot be exempt from the
automatic power of the fed
eral government to supervise
voter registration within
their borders. I hope my
amendment will prevail.
One of the unfortunate
things about the present day
is that people and public of
ficials are willing to ignore
the Constitution to accomplish
wjiat they seek. It would be
well, indeed, for the nation
to heed Washington’s sage
advice concerning any dis
satisfaction with the Consti
tution when he said in his
farewell address:
“Let there be no change by
usurpation, or even though a
change may seem good in one
instance, usurpation is the
customary weapon by which
free government is de
stroyed.”'
