Walter P. Ela (argued the cause for the appellee)

Harold E. Hanson (argued the cause for the appellee)

Facts of the Case

A Madison, Wisconsin ordinance prohibited the sale of milk within city limits unless it came from a local farm or was pasteurized at an approved plant within five miles of the center of Madison. When the Dean Milk Company, located in Illinois, was denied a permit to sell milk, it filed suit against the city.

Question

Did the Madison ordinance unconstitutionally interfere with interstate commerce?

Conclusion

In a 6-to-3 decision, the Court held that the Wisconsin ordinance imposed an "undue burden" on interstate commerce. The Court argued that general discrimination against non-local producers was not narrowly tailored to serve the city's interests. Reasonable, nondiscriminatory alternatives were available to ensure milk sold in the city was wholesome and properly pasteurized. "To permit Madison to adopt a regulation not essential for the protection of local health interest and placing a discriminatory burden on interstate commerce would invite a multiplication of preferential trade areas destructive of the very purpose of the Commerce Clause."

Harry Sacher (Argued the cause for the petitioners)

Facts of the Case

In 1948, the leaders of the Communist Part of America were arrested and charged with violating provisions of the Smith Act. The Act made it unlawful to knowingly conspire to teach and advocate the overthrow or destruction of the United States government. Party leaders were found guilty and lower courts upheld the conviction.

Question

Did the Smith Act's restrictions on speech violate the First Amendment?

Conclusion

Decision: 5 votes for United States, 3 vote(s) against
Legal provision: US Const Amend 1; 18 U.S.C. §§ 10, 11

In a 6-to-2 decision, the Court upheld the convictions of the Communist Party leaders and found that the Smith Act did not "inherently" violate the First Amendment. In the plurality opinion, the Court held that there was a distinction between the mere teaching of communist philosophies and active advocacy of those ideas. Such advocacy created a "clear and present danger" that threatened the government. Given the gravity of the consequences of an attempted putsch, the Court held that success or probability of success was not necessary to justify restrictions on the freedom of speech.

Argued

Reargued:

December 7-9, 1953

Decided

Monday, May 17, 1954

Facts of the Case

Black children were denied admission to public schools attended by white children under laws requiring or permitting segregation according to the races. The white and black schools approached equality in terms of buildings, curricula, qualifications, and teacher salaries. This case was decided together with Briggs v. Elliott and Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County.

Question

Does the segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race deprive the minority children of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the 14th Amendment?

Conclusion

Decision: 9 votes for Brown, 0 vote(s) against
Legal provision: Equal Protection

Yes. Despite the equalization of the schools by "objective" factors, intangible issues foster and maintain inequality. Racial segregation in public education has a detrimental effect on minority children because it is interpreted as a sign of inferiority. The long-held doctrine that separate facilities were permissible provided they were equal was rejected. Separate but equal is inherently unequal in the context of public education. The unanimous opinion sounded the death-knell for all forms of state-maintained racial separation.

Opinion

Argued

Tuesday, October 21, 1952

Decided

Monday, March 9, 1953

Facts of the Case

An airplane carrying several military personnel and several civilians crashed while conducting tests of "secret electronic equipment." The widows of the three civilians killed sued and asked for full disclosure of the Air Force?s accident investigation report. The report included information pertaining to the secret electronic equipment. The Air Force refused to provide the information, saying that to do so would threaten national security. Absent the report, the District Court and Court of Appeals viewed the question of negligence in the widow's favor and ruled for the plaintiffs.

Question

If the government invokes privilege to withhold information in civil proceedings, must the trial court view the point on which evidence is withheld in the plaintiff's favor?

Conclusion

No. In a 6-3 opinion by Chief Justice Fred Vinson, the court held that cause for privilege must be reasonably demonstrated. As a result, the government may withhold information for reasons of national security even when that information is vital to the plaintiff's case. On remand, the plaintiffs lost.

Argued

Tuesday, December 16, 1952

Decided

Monday, March 9, 1953

Facts of the Case

In 1951, Congress adopted the Gamblers' Occupational Tax Act which required gamblers to register with the Collector of Internal Revenue and levied a tax on their gambling income.

Question

Did the Act violate the Fifth and Tenth Amendments?

Conclusion

The Court upheld the law. Justice Reed argued that the law did not violate a person's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination because under its registration provisions, individuals were "not compelled to confess to acts already committed." The statute simply informed people who wanted to "engage in the business of wagering" that they would be required to "fulfill certain conditions." The Tenth Amendment was not offended as Reed found that the tax produced revenue and was not inconsistent with similar taxes which the Court had previously approved.

Decided

Monday, May 17, 1954

Facts of the Case

On account of their race, black children in Washington D.C. were denied admission to the same public schools which white children attended.

Question

Did the segregation of the public schools of Washington D.C. violate the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment?

Conclusion

Decision: 9 votes for Bolling, 0 vote(s) against
Legal provision: Equal Protection

Yes. In a unanimous decision, the Court found that racial discrimination in the public schools of Washington D.C. denied blacks due process of law as protected by the Fifth Amendment. Noting the legal peculiarities of the District of Columbia, Chief Justice Warren recognized that the Fifth Amendment (which applied to the District) did not contain an equal protection clause while the Fourteenth Amendment (which was used as the standard for outlawing school desegregation in Brown v. Board of Education) did. Lacking an equal protection standard to invalidate the District's segregation, Warren creatively relied on the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of "liberty" to find the segregation of the Washington D.C. schools unconstitutional.
