PAHL Mankato State College ABSTRACT - Although society may have good reasons for protecting itself against both sedition and conspiracy, history demonstrates that statutes directed against these offenses are particularly prone to result in the abuse of power. A possibility of just such an abuse in the first application of the Smith Act - the Minneapolis Trotskyite trial of 1941 - led to a consideration of a civil libertarian caught in the cross-pressure of enforcing a law anathema to his professed liberal be­ liefs. The study showed that, during time of threat, internal or external, our democratic society permits our government officials, in the name of survival, to limit those freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution.

  • Office of Solicitor General
    THE JOURNAL OF APPELLATE PRACTICE AND PROCESS THE OFFICE OF SOLICITOR GENERAL PREFACE If any legal position warrants the appellation, "the appellate lawyer's lawyer," it is that of Solicitor General. Seth Waxman, himself a former Solicitor General, has pointed out that "the office of the Solicitor General of the United States is a wonderful and unique creation,"' noting that only the holder of that office, among all the officers of the federal government, is required by statute to be "learned in the law." 2 President after president has complied with that instruction: The list of Solicitors General that follows this preface includes the names of some of this country's most distinguished lawyers. There may even be those who think of the Solicitors General as a corps of immortals, for as Waxman discovered, "[s]ome 60 years ago, a letter found its way into the United States mail addressed simply 'The Celestial General, Washington, D.C." 3 The inadequacy of the address notwithstanding, the Post Office "apparently had no trouble discerning to whom it should be delivered. It went to Robert H. 1. Seth P. Waxman, Speech, Presenting the Case of the United States As It Should Be: The Solicitor General in Historical Context (address to the Supreme Court Historical Society, Washington, June 1, 1998) at I (available at <http://www.usdoj.gov/osg/about osg/sgarticle.html>). 2. Id. 3. Id. THE JOURNAL OF APPELLATE PRACTICE AND PROCESS Vol. 3, No. 2 (Fall 2001) THE JOURNAL OF APPELLATE PRACTICE AND PROCESS Jackson, then Solicitor General of the United States." 4 Waxman is quick to point out that neither he nor any of his predecessors had "pretensions of other-worldliness," but he does acknowledge that they "have all been fortunate to have been able to serve in what Thurgood Marshall called 'the best job I've ever had." We in the law can see that it is indeed a special job, for the Solicitor General is the only lawyer who, as Francis Biddle put it, "has no master to serve except his country." 6 The responsibilities of the job are great, but so are the rewards.

A week later, the House and Senate adopted a joint resolution authorizing the President to "[u]se all necessary and appro- priate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed or aided" these attacks or "harbored such organizations or persons."2 On October 7, 2001, the United States commenced aerial bombardment of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization and its Taliban supporters in Afghanistan, and less than two weeks later, on the night of October 19-20, American special operations troops initiated ground operations against the terrorist organization and its Afghan protectors! Today, for the first time since it withdrew from Vietnam a generation ago, the United States finds it- self involved in a protracted war abroad.
