The decisions, Konigsberg v. State Bar of California (Konigsberg I),1 Schware v. * Joshua E. Kastenberg, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF, is a military judge assigned to Joint Base Andrews. He thanks his wife, Elizabeth A. Kastenberg, and dedicates this Article to her. 1 353 U.S. 252 (1957). Konigsberg I was argued on January 14, 1957 and decided on May 6, 1957. Id. 691 692 WILLIAM & MARY BILL OF RIGHTS JOURNAL [Vol. 20:691 Board of Bar Examiners,2 Konigsberg v. State Bar of California (Konigsberg II),3 and role of attorneys in a democratic society. Decided at the height of the Cold War— when In re Anastaplo,4 evidenced how the Justices on the Warren Court viewed the fears of Communist espionage, subversion, and the potential for atomic warfare were keenly felt in the three branches of government and society as a whole—the Justices sought to influence the ability of the legal profession to determine who was eligible for bar admission, and, therefore, what might be the role of the zealous advocate. In particular, state bar associations had begun to restrict admission of people who had been affiliated with the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA),5 but the CPUSA was not the only political entity targeted for bar exclusion.6 Within the Court, two opposing camps led by Justice Hugo Black and Justice John Harlan sparred over the ability of state judicial branches to determine bar admission based on political affiliation and loyalty oaths.7 One recent study characterized In re Anastaplo as “exemplif [ying] the conflict between those who, like Justice Black, placed absolute faith in the First Amendment, and others who, like Justice John Harlan, felt that its freedoms had to be balanced against societal needs.”8 The same could be said for all four decisions. Harlan’s belief in the necessity of balance was not wholly original. He was guided and coached by Justice Felix Frankfurter,9 and his approach was a continuation of Justice Robert Jackson’s jurisprudence.10 In the first two cases de- cided in 1957, Black appeared to prevail.11 But Harlan’s ideology formed the majority, and, therefore, the law in the second two cases, which were also decided together.12 Although Black was an absolutist in First Amendment jurisprudence, he believed 2 353 U.S. 232 (1957).

Nowak, Justice Harlan and the First Amendment, 2 CONST. COMMENT. 425, 429–30 (1985) (stating that Harlan appeared to have been strongly influenced by Justice Frankfurter). 10 See Patrick Schmidt, “The Dilemma to a Free People”: Justice Robert Jackson, Walter Bagehot, and the Creation of a Conservative Jurisprudence, 20 LAW & HIST. REV. 517, 523–24 (2002) (describing Justice Jackson’s jurisprudence). 11 Schware v. Bd. of Bar Exam’rs, 353 U.S. 232 (1957); Konigsberg I, 353 U.S. 252 (1957). 12 Konigsberg II, 366 U.S. 36 (1961); In re Anastaplo, 366 U.S. 82 (1961). 2012] HUGO BLACK’S VISION 693 the four attorneys’ admission decisions represented more than the Amendment.13 He argued that the independent bar was the guardian of the Bill of Rights, and judicially imposed restraints on bar admission based on political belief was a tenuous path to the erosion of those rights.14 Centered on Justice Black, this Article is a legal history of the decisional processes, political influences, and jurisprudential ideologies involved in these four cases. It also provides a window into what the Justices saw as the role of the legal profession in the criminal justice system, as well as in national security. That said, although Black failed to build a sustained majority, his ideology ultimately prevailed over time through other decisions and independent acts of state bars, which, in turn, significantly modi- fied Harlan’s jurisprudential ideology. There were two changes on the Court between the first two decisions and the second two. In 1957, the Court consisted of Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justices Hugo Lafayette Black, Stanley Forman Reed, Felix Frankfurter, William Orville Douglas, Harold Hitz Burton, Tom Campbell Clark, John Marshall Harlan, and William J. Brennan, Jr.15 By 1960, Reed and Burton had left the Court and were replaced by Justices Charles Evans Whittaker and Potter Stewart.16 However, neither Whittaker nor Stewart played a dispositive role in the decisions; though, in a contempt decision, Stewart’s concurrence effectively deflated Frankfurter’s and Harlan’s dissents.17 A brief note on this Article’s legal history methodology is important. Lawrence M. Friedman, one of the late twentieth-century’s prominent legal historians, aptly ob- served that legal history is far more than the passage and enforcement of laws; it is also about the people on both ends of the process.18 This Article is written with Friedman’s view of legal history. Likewise, Bernard Schwartz, another of the twentieth century’s leading legal historians, noted in his study on the Burger Court that because much of the important work of the Court is done in private, studying the correspondences from the conference sessions after the cases have been argued are critical to assessing how the majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions were formulated and what the Justices intended, in addition to the consensus opinions.19 The same could be said for the pre- ceding Warren Court, and where possible, this Article relies on original documents such as conference memorandum and personal correspondences, rather than secondary 13 For more on Black’s jurisprudence see HOWARD BALL, HUGO L. BLACK: COLD STEEL WARRIOR 28 (1996). 14 Id. at 115; see also ROGER K. NEWMAN, HUGO BLACK: A BIOGRAPHY 412–13 (1994). 15 MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, http://www.supremecourt .gov/about/members_text.aspx (last visited Mar. 15, 2012). 16 Id. 17 In re Sawyer, 360 U.S. 622, 646–47 (1959) (Stewart, J., concurring and Frankfurter, Clark, Harlan, and Whittaker, JJ., dissenting). 18 LAWRENCE M.

    At Sidebar Mr. Justice Stanton by James W. Satola I love U.S. Supreme Court history. Sometimes, the more arcane the better. So, for my At Sidebar con- tribution, I want to share a little bit of what I love.1 Perhaps calling to mind the well-known story behind Marbury v.

BOARD OF EDUCATION: MAKING A MORE PERFECT UNION John Seigenthaler* It is impossible for me to reflect on Brown v. Board of Educa- tion1 and its meaning these five decades later without revisiting in my mind’s eye the white Southern racist society of my youth and young adulthood. That was a time when my hometown, Nashville, Tennessee, was as racially segregated as any city in South Africa at the height of Apartheid; when every city in the South, large and small, was the same; when African-American residents of those communities were denied access to any place and every place they might need or wish to go. The legal myth of “separate but equal” had cunningly banned black citizens from every hospital, school, restaurant, trolley, bus, park, theater, hotel, and motel that catered to the white public. These tax-paying citizens were denied access to these places solely on the basis of their race by tradition, custom, local ordi- nance, state statute, federal policy, and by an edict of the United States Supreme Court fifty-eight years before Brown in Plessy v. Ferguson.2 In too many of these cities, black citizens were even denied access to the ballot box on election day. The posted signs of the times read, “White Only.” If you never saw those signs, it is difficult to imagine their visible presence in every city hall, county courthouse, and public building, including many federal buildings.

The place: rural Louisiana. A slim black teenager named Willie Francis was nervous. Understandably so. The State of Louisiana was getting ready to kill him by causing a current of electricity to pass through his shackled body. Strapped in a portable electric chair, a hood was placed over his head, and the electric chair attendant threw the switch, saying in a harsh voice "Goodbye, Willie." The chair didn't work properly; the port- able generator failed to provide enough voltage. Electricity passed through Willie's body, but not enough to kill him.
