LAD #30
Schenck Vs United States. Schneck was accused of conspiracy in three different accounts, first by violating the Espionage Act by attempting to cause insubordination in the military and naval forces, obstructing the recruited and enlisted servicemen and finally while the US was at war with Germany he willfully conspired to printed circulate pamphlets to accepted men in the military. However his defense was the search warrant was invalid because it was issued against the headquarters and not his home. The courts accused him of truning men against he government with his pamphlets with 'conscripted wording' This is just a return to Adams Alien and Sedition acts to help control the populous so as to not make the government look bad, however this IS violating the Bill of Rights.
