Supreme Court voids anti-draft picket conviction on free speech grounds
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 2 that the antiwar picket near Atlanta draft headquarters in 1966 had its First Amendment rights violated, striking down the harsh language conviction and Georgia abusive language statute. Justice Brennan led the decision, noted limits on fighting words, while Justices Burger and Blackmun dissented. The case involved Johnny C. Wilson, a Black antiwar demonstrator, and touched on police clashes and public order. Two Nixon appointees Powell and Rehnquist did not vote.
