Anti-Daley delegates win appeal at Supreme Court
The Supreme Court ruled Illinois cannot jail 59 anti Daley delegates for attending the 1972 National Convention in place of Daley loyalists. The majority said the convention's national interest outweighs state law, freeing the delegates from prosecution though one justice dissented in part. The decision lets national conventions determine delegate eligibility without state election rules interfering.
