Supreme Court Lets Government Target Communist Party
The Supreme Court, in a 5 to 4 decision, upholds core government weapons against Communist activity in the United States.

Justice Frankfurter writes the majority opinion, praising limits on First Amendment rights. Justice Black dissents, arguing such measures strip free speech.
