UNCONSTITUTIONAL DESIRES
There are some political
factions that love so-called
“civil rights” more than jus
tice. Their strange desire to
impose their will upon society,
and reconstruct social rela
tionships causes them to de
spise the greatest of all in
struments of justice, the U.S.
Constitution. Their aggressive
outlook is nowhere more evi
dent than in the attack on the
Constitution contained in the
proposed Civil Rights Act of
1967.
The confusion of the attack
ers is clear in the arguments
which are put forward to sup
port Titles I and II of the
1967 bill. The first of these
titles is concerned with the
selection of juries in Federal
courts and the second with the
selection of juries in the State
courts. Proponents often im
ply that the problem is the
same in each case.
DIFFERENT CASES
The fact is that the two
cases are completely different.
Congress does have the power
to regulate and prescribe regu
lations for the selection of
juries in Federal courts.
On the other hand, Congress
has no affirmative power to
regulate the make-up of juries
in State courts. Selection pro
cedures are laid down by the
States. The only power which
Congress has in this instance
is the negative power granted
by the Fourteenth Amend
ment,
Congress has long since
passed a law with regard to
juries in State courts. Section
254 of Title 1R of the U.S. Code
permits a fine of $5,000 for any
State officer who disqualifies a
juror on grounds of race, color,
or previous condition of servi
tude. This negative prohibi
tion is plainly the extent of
the action which Congress may
legally take under the U.S.
Constitution.
SHOCKING PROPOSAL
Title III of the proposed bill
is even more shocking. This
title would amend the Equal
Employment Opportunities Act
to take away the right of a
court trial for employers
charged under the Act. Instead
of having the employer’s guilt
or innocence adjudged in the
Federal District Court of his
locality, the proposed bill
would have the case decided
within the bureaucratic mazes
of the Equal Employment Op
portunity Commission (EEOC).
It is amazing that those who
profess to be so worried about
justice in the jury systems of
our courts in Titles I and II
turn around in Title III and
attempt to deprive the courts
of the opportunity to act.
Title HI would empower the
EEOC to issue cease and desist
orders ahd other decrees.
Henceforth, the bureaucrats of
the EEOC would bring the
charges, acting in the role of
prosecutor, make their so-
called findings of fact, acting
in the role of juror, and issue
and enforce their own orders,
acting in the role of judge. The
new powers would enable the
EEOC to demand the re-in
statement of former employees
with back pay, and the hiring
of new ones.
Title IV of the proposed bill
is a so-called “open housing’’
provision similar to last year’s
controversial proposal. The
new bill differs in that it uses
the old salami technique—it
starts slicing from the toes and
works upward. Yet the most
potent objection to the proposi
tion is that the Constitution
nowhere gives the Federal
government authority to de
prive any individual of his
basic, inherent right to hold,

SPECIAL PROTECTION
Title V contains a special
criminal provision for the pro
tection of individuals who claim
to be engaged in certain pro
tected “civil rights” activities.
This proposal will carve out a
special group of people who
would be determined, not by
who they are but by the type
of action in which they claim
to be engaged, and extend to
them the protection of Fed
eral law.
However, the Fourteenth
Amendment is not directed to
ward the action of private in
dividuals, acting in their pri
vate capacity. Nor does the
central government have a
general police power.
The last section of the bill,
Title VI, in a way typifies the
desperate determination of the
I “civil rights” advocates. This
title extends the life of that
high-priced propaganda agen-
jcy, the U.S. Commission on
iCivil Rights. Like many another
"temporary” government agen
cy, this Commission refuses to
die a decent death. The cause
of justice and progressive gov
ernment would be better served
by an honest study of the
meaning and intent of the U.S.
Constitution.
