All the laws of Congress should apply equally in every part of the Nation. Even Congress should not apply different standards in various parts of the country. and certainly the Attorney General should not be permitted to exercise such vast power. This and other similar sections of the bill make a mockery of the expression that this is a government of laws. and not of men. I would also point out another unconstitutional invasion of State power in title I. it is the provision establishing voter qualifications by requiring that literacy tests be conducted in writing. This is clearly a violation of article I. section 2. Second.
