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.
Nostrand v. Little, 368 U.S. 436 (1962)
Nostrand v. Little No. 571 Decided January 22, 1962 368 U.S. 436
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF WASHINGTON
Syllabus
After this Court’s remand of this case, 362 U.S. 474, the State Supreme Court held that appellants, who are professors at the State University, are entitled to hearings before they can be discharged for refusal to swear that they are not members of the Communist Party or any other subversive organization, as required by a state statute. They again appealed from the judgment of that court sustaining the constitutionality of the statute against their claim, in a declaratory judgment proceeding, that it violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
Held: the appeal is dismissed for want of a substantial federal question.
Reported below: 58 Wash. 2d 111, 361 P. 2d 551.
