Court rules against soldier who was given LSD
Supreme Court rules 5-4 that a former soldier who unknowingly took LSD during 1950s secret military tests cannot sue the federal government. The decision cites military immunity, while dissenters liken the conduct to Nazi experiments. The case centers on Master Sgt. James B. Stanley and echoes broader rulings on military power and rights.
