| | Congressional Committees and Unfriendly Witnesses |
| | Most of the justices disapproved of HUAC'<b>sb> heavy-handed tactics, but, as Justice Robert Jackson explained in 1949, they felt "it would be an unwarranted act of judicial usurpation to strip Congress of its investigatory power or to assume for the courts the function of supervising congressional committees." In short, HUAC had a free hand. | | | But because congressional hearings were immune from the due process requirements that accompanied criminal prosecutions, the committees had more leeway to denounce and accuse. | | | The most important were Senator McCarthy'<b>sb> Permanent Investigating Subcommittee of the Government Operations Committee and Pat McCarran'<b>sb> powerful Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (SISS), both of which conducted exactly the same kinds of investigations as HUAC. |

| | To accept that the district may be placed anywhere implies that the claim, and hence the coordinate right to an undiluted vote (to cast a ballot equal among voters), belongs to the minority as a group and not to its individual members. | | | District 12 would not address the professed interest of relieving the vote dilution, much less be narrowly tailored to accomplish the goal. | | | We hold, therefore, that District 12 is not narrowly tailored to the State'<b>sb> asserted interest in complying with §2 of the Voting Rights Act. |
