Should not Roger Baldwin and his myrmidons be held accountable for weakening the constitution and the law. He took soviet money clear into the seventies to continue his efforts through the ACLU. That he was socialist was relevant, he was also advocating the violent overthrow of the government and was a card carrying member of CPUSA. Where you trying to run a fast one past us? I am still upset he spent so little time in prison.

No, I was referring to the case Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919).

I'm unfamiliar w/ Roger Baldwin; there is however at least one thing different between the case I cited and this: there was no advocacy to overthrow the government in the 1919 case.
