Court Rules Citizenship Cannot Be Cancelled for Communist Ties
The Supreme Court, in a 5 to 3 decision, revived William Schneiderman’s American citizenship, ruling that mere membership in a Communist party or support without intent to overthrow the government does not justify revocation. The ruling also addressed war powers upholding a West Coast curfew for Japanese ancestry. Justice Murphy wrote for the majority. Chief Justice Stone dissented, asserting the record shows a belief in overthrow by violence.
