Supreme Court backs draft card burning ban in 1965 law
The Supreme Court upheld a 1965 law that bans burning draft cards. David L. Miller, first arrested under the statute for burning his card near an Army induction center in Manhattan on Oct. 15, 1965, argued it was symbolic speech. The 2nd U.S. Circuit ruled the act could be forbidden to administer the Selective Service System, while allowing criticism of policy by speech. Miller received a suspended three-year jail term and two years’ probation.
