Court Split Over Free Speech Case Sparks Dissent
The Supreme Court split over the Terminiello free speech ruling with Justices Jackson Burton and Frankfurter dissents opposing a majority that upheld free expression. Justice Douglas defended speech provoking unrest while Jackson warned against eroding local democratic power. Terminiello, a Roman Catholic priest, was fined for a disorderly conduct charge tied to a 1946 Chicago speech.
