Countryman also objected to the bill's many lesser-known political and social provisions. He thought that an amendment tacked onto the bill by Sen. Robert Dole (R-Kans.), allowing judges to deny pre-trial release to persons accused of murder, treason, rape, sabotage, or trafficking in narcotics, is probably unconstitutional.

But in Oh God! the maudlin preponderates; Reiner chooses, for reasons of his own, to be "laid back," ignoring his real comic strengths...
