Mccormick Foundation Civics Program Freedom of Speech: Clear & Present Danger
McCormick Foundation Civics Program 2010 First Amendment Summer Institute Freedom of Speech: Clear & Present Danger Shawn Healy Director of Educational Programs Civics Program Freedom of Speech o First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law…abridging…the freedom of speech…” o An historic progression of free speech tests: • Bad tendency -Rooted in English Common Law and articulated in Gitlow v. New York (1925) • Clear and present danger -First articulated by Holmes in Schenck v. U.S. (1919), and adopted by a majority of the Court in Herndon v. Lowry (1937) • Imminent lawless action -Supplants clear and present danger test in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) -Exception: speech cases in military courts Bad Tendency Test o World War I: Used as test to determine whether speech critical of government during the war and its aftermath crossed the line o Sedition Act of 1917: • Congress intended to forestall threats to military operations • The Wilson Administration used to prohibit dissenting views • Shaffer v. U.S. (9th Circuit Court of Appeals): “It is true that disapproval of war and the advocacy of peace are not crimes under the Espionage Act; but the question here is…whether the natural and probable tendency and effect of the words…are such as are calculated to produce the result condemned by the statute.” Bad Tendency Test Continued o Abrams v. U.S. (1919): • Pamphlet critical of Wilson’s decision to send troops to Russia, urging U.S. workers to strike in protest • Charged under 1918 amendment to Sedition Act prohibiting expression of disloyalty and interference with the war effort • Downplayed clear and present danger distinction: “for the language of these circulars was obviously intended to provoke and to encourage resistance to the United States and the war.” Bad Tendency Test Continued o Gitlow v. -
Interview with VALERY IVANOVICH BOLDIN Present at the Talk Was
Interview with VALERY IVANOVICH BOLDIN Present at the talk was Oleg Dmitrievich Baklanov This interview was conducted on February 24, 1999, in Moscow by Oleg Igorevich Skvortsov, project director, An Oral History of the Cold War, Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Publication, citation, or general dissemination without the express written consent of the authors is prohibited. O.S. I propose that we start our talk with the following topic: How would you evaluate the domestic situation in the Soviet Union and its standing in the world by the mid-1980s? Were the problems that Gorbachev and his team faced indeed fatal, and did these problems create an irresolvable situation from which there was no escape? Many of those who were close to Gorbachev often express completely opposite opinions on this matter and sometimes even contradict themselves. For example, Chernyaev says in one place that the crisis of the Soviet system was irreversible, yet in another place he writes that the crisis was not critical. Could the Soviet system have been reformed? And even after having declared the ideology bankrupt, could we have preserved the fundamental geopolitical interests of the Soviet Union? Did we have sufficient resources for extricating ourselves from the situation that had come into being by the mid-1980s? In other words, could we have won back what we had lost? V.B. The economic situation on the eve of Gorbachev’s coming to power was somewhat exacerbated by the fact that inflation began to exceed the normal boundaries. Boldin Interview Page 2 of 39 The first thing that happened as a result was that the population started buying up food supplies in large quantities, and, secondly, deposited huge amounts of money into their savings accounts. -

Above all, the Hays Program remained steadfast in its central mission: to mentor a new generation of lawyers dedicated to redressing historic inequalities, to resisting injustice, and to protecting democratic institutions. The heart of the Program remained the Fellows and their engagement with lawyers, advocates, and communities through their term-time internships and seminar discussions aimed at defending civil rights and civil liberties. The academic year began with the Trump administration’s continuing assault on the Constitution, from its treatment of immigrants, to its tacit endorsement of racist violence, fueled by the President’s explicit use of federal judicial appointments to narrow civil rights and civil liberties (at this count, an unprecedented two hundred). By March, a global pandemic had caused the Law School, like the rest of the world, to shutter, with the Hays seminar, along with all courses, taught remotely. -

Women and the Presidency
Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States. -

LETTER to PARTICIPATING PARTIES and ORGANIZATIONS of the REVOLUTIONARY INTERNATIONALIST MOVEMENT the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA
May 1, 2012 LETTER TO PARTICIPATING PARTIES AND ORGANIZATIONS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY INTERNATIONALIST MOVEMENT The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA [Publication Note: This letter was originally distributed only among the Participating Parties and Organizations of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM). In making this letter available publicly, what had been an Introductory Note at the beginning was instead included here as an Appendix, and for purposes of clarity some minor editing was done in that Appendix and in the main text of this letter.] Dear Comrades, We are writing you at a time when the shared experience of working together in the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement has brought us to a sharp juncture where the forces formerly united in it are dividing out over cardinal questions. We face a moment where two-line struggle has to be joined over the most fundamental questions of what ideological and political line will define the international communist movement, if there is to be genuine communism in today's world. The formation of RIM in 1984 was the start of a very important role that it played for two decades as the embryonic center of the world's Maoist forces – that is, those who at that time were committed to carrying forward the legacy of Mao Tsetung to advance communism, after the defeat of the revolution in China in 1976. As we all know, for several years now RIM has no longer been functioning as such a center. The reasons for this are part of the current dispute, while the great need for the unity of revolutionary communists on an international level, based on principled cohesion around a correct ideological and political line, is all the more important now. -

"I think you are one of the most contemptible individuals ever brought into my court," he stated.
