Kennedy reported that Tar County Man Charged In Wake Hit-Run Edward Daniel Inscos, 24, of Rt. 2^ LoulsUurg .out* arrested Senator Sam Says Washlngton--The Senate's ap proval of the constitutionally defect ive voting bill ^signals the sharpest *turn 1 in years in the alteration of our governmental system T For what the bill does, as I attempted to point out in the battle over it; is to suspend four separate provisions of the Constitution of the United States as they apply > to seven-con demned States. The Constitu tional provisions suspended confer upon thfe States the pow er to? prescribe qualifications for voting. The magnitude of this change in governmental power can be seek* fronwthe principles which the bill overtules. Not since Reconstruction days'has apiece of legislation so clearly over ruled provision after provision of the Constitution. Nor has legislation approved been so confronted with decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States which substantiate the right of States to prescribe Impartial literacy tests or which declare that no provision of the Constitution shall be suspended. Yet, the Senate has chosen to sweep as Id* these established principles In an at tempt to rectify some errors of Judgment on the part of elec tion officials. v What can happen under such circumstances U best Illustrat ed by an amendment offered late In the consideration of the voting bill which nullifies New York's requirement that voters rrraST pass a simple English literacy test. The Senate adopt ed the amendment notwithstand ing the fact that It violated the same Constitutional mandate which permitted the seven Southern States to prescribe voting (lteracy tests, During the course of that de bate, I pointed out to New York's Senators who proposed the amendment, that New York has a State Constitutional provision Which says that no one can vote in New York unless he can read and write the English language. I also stated that New York's cqn^tltutlonal provision has been sustained as a valid exer cise of power by the New York' Court of Appeals and a three Judge Federal court. These ob stacles were brushed aside In the Interest of Instant correc tion at the Federal level of a Judgment made by the State of 'New York. Somfe haVe asked why I car ried oft a/ftrttle against the White House? the Democratic" leadership, \nd the Republican leadership orKthis Tssue. My answer is simply ^ consider the nfiost precious possession tjhat Americans of all races t and all beliefs have is the Con stitution of the United States. The cardinal principle violated in this Senate-passed bill is the suspension of clear Constitu tional povfcer and rights* all the States Vi all fields
