General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Nowak v. United States, 356 U.S. 660 (1958)
MR. JUSTICE BURTON, MR. JUSTICE CLARK, and MR. JUSTICE WHITTAKER, dissenting.*
We join the Court in concluding that the "good cause" affidavits were sufficient. However, under the circumstances of these cases, we believe that each petitioner fully understood the thrust of Question 28 to association with or membership in any organization which teaches or advocates the overthrow of the Government. Further, we believe that the facts amply support the conclusion of both the trial court and the Court of Appeals that neither petitioner "behaved as a person . . . attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States. . . ." We cannot join in overturning these findings of two courts, and therefore would affirm the judgments.
* [NOTE: This opinion applies also to No. 76, Maisenberg v. United States, post, p. 670.]
