	Rosenberg v United States (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		JUSTICE DOUGLAS was of the opinion that this contention posed a substantial question; he denied the application for habeas corpus, but granted a stay, effective until the applicability of the Atomic Energy Act could be determined in the District Court and the Court of Appeals.
		JUSTICE DOUGLAS, in issuing the stay, did not act to grant some form of amnesty or last-minute reprieve to the defendants; he simply acted to protect jurisdiction over the case, to maintain the status quo until a conclusive answer could be given to the question which had been urged in the defendants' behalf.
		JUSTICE DOUGLAS is based entirely on his desire to have this matter passed upon in due course and after proper deliberation in a habeas corpus proceeding brought in district court and followed through to this Court.

		Justice Frankfurter, take the position, as this Court has on previous occasions stated that it would insist that the meaning of a constitutional provision or of a statute is to be determined by any isolated statement of any individual proponent or opponent of the legislation.
		Justice Miller, if you please, said was the purpose and the intended scope of the Amendment, we cope up with a broad, general purpose that necessarily embraces a prohibition against the type of state activity which we have presented to the Court in these cases.
		JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: —there was I don’t know how long a proceeding before Judge Hand and his associates in which there was conformity by the parties going on as proposed by what this Court decided, which was made a matter of independent extensive litigation and consideration.

	Religion And The U. S. Supreme Court - Cases (2 of 4)
		Justice Frankfurter concurred in part, arguing that so long as the Constitution requires municipalities to be open for this sort of activity, "I am unable to find legal significance in the fact that a town in which the Constitutional freedoms of religion and speech are invoked happens to be company-owned."...
		Justice Frankfurter concurred in part and concurred in the result, refusing to acknowledge that any Act of Congress was being challenged herein on constitutional grounds, and concurring in part and in the result for the reasons stated in his separate opinion for Marsh v.
		Justice Frankfurter concurred in the result, conducting a lengthy comparison of the three cases decided this day against prior precedents and finding each result to be justified by both the facts and the precedents.

		Justice, that the reasons they required the redistricting of the schools, as this proposal would establish, is that colored schools did not have a district previously, that is, in a general large way, that children living in this particular part of the city would attend this particular school.
		Justice Black, I would answer that question by suggesting that it would include all Negroes who are residents in the Virginia case of the County of Prince Edwards, and in the South Carolina case of District No. 1.
		JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: That was the complaint: “and all others similarly situated seeking admission as pupils in the Claymont High School,” and in the other case, in the Hockessin School No. 29.

	Teachers' Domain: Simple Justice 6: Justice Warren Reads the Decision
		It convinced Chief Justice Warren and Justice Douglas that segregation reinforced the notion that fls were inferior to whites and was psychologically damaging to fl children, thereby making "separate but equal" unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment.
		Justices Frankfurter and Jackson were in favor of overturning Plessy, but they felt that the arguments rested too heavily on the political and personal feelings of the justices to be called a legal decision.
		Justice Clark, for example, agreed that segregation must be outlawed but that the remedy needed to be crafted carefully, taking into account local conditions.

		JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: But, it seems to me that's the crux; from there you go on, then you can consider, if it's doubtful, should you give this meaning or that meaning, and for the resolution of that doubt, all the practical considerations come in.
		JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: Well, certainly this suit might have been brought in the Chicago, in the Illinois district if the plaintiff had had in his pocket a waiver of the venue requirement, before he started anything.
		JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: I'm not saying that's what I think this statute means, but as a matter of English words, that suit "might have been brought" if he'd had a waiver in his pocket.

		As the Chief Justice read the historic and potentially divisive opinion the nine justices—Justice Robert H. Jackson had left his hospital bed to be present —sat expressionless and calm, the rare picture of august solidarity belying three years of judicial soulsearching that had led to this moment.
		He wrote in a note to Justice Wiley B. Rutledge regarding a 1948 case of racial discrimination on an excursion boat :”… Considerable practical experience with problems of race relations led me to the conclusion that the ugly practices of racial discrimination should be dealt with by eloquence of action but with austerity of speech.
		Frankfurter had warned the court in a memorandum against requiring a deadline, because, he said, it would have to be an arbitrary deadline and would be considered “an imposition of our will without the ascertainment … of the local situation.

	JUSTICE KENNEDY SHOULD RECUSE HIMSELF
		In some ways, though, Justice Kennedy’s breach was not remarkable at all, but emblematic of the harsh and contemptuous treatment dished out to those on the wrong side of the drug war.
		Justice Frankfurter once wrote that when a judge cannot “think dispassionately and submerge private feeling” he should recuse himself.
		In recusing himself, Justice Frankfurter honored the court and its commitment to “the rule of law, not men.” Justice Kennedy would do well to follow his example.

		Justice Frankfurter, plainly believing that the first problem was the one at issue, responded on June 7 by circulating "tables [to] afford a bird's eye view of the procedural steps in three of the cases involved in our Habeas Corpus problem."
		To the extent that the Justices focused on the substance of the inquiry to be made by the federal habeas court, their effort was not to broaden it, but rather to ensure that the published opinions would not be wrongly read as narrowing it.
		Justice Frankfurter focused his fire on the impropriety of an affirmance in a case where the court of appeals had--wrongly, as the Court now held--declined to reach the merits in deference to the prior proceedings.

		Frankfurter was Byrne Professor of Administrative Law during a Law School tenure that stretched from 1914 until 1939.
		Abram J. Chayes '43, Frankfurter Professor of Law--who clerked for Frankfurter in 1951--said he was motivated to organize the event by the fact that Frankfurter" was simply the increasingly dominant presence at the Law School for over 20 years--to have him sort of disappear was a shame."
		Chayes remembered Frankfurter as a "tremendous, effervescent, diverse person," and said that he was amazed by the large turnout--though a bit disappointed by the low number of students attending.

	The Brown Decision
		To achieve this outcome, Justice Frankfurter had to figure out some way to neutralize the decades of precedent stemming from Plessy, and he had to divert the NAACP from the implausible argument that the original intent of the Fourteenth Amendment was to abolish segregation.
		Frankfurter and Elman were aided and abetted in their endeavor by the death of Chief Justice Vinson in September.
		Justice Jackson, whose experience at Nuremberg had burned into him a deep appreciation of the separation of powers, asked Thurgood Marshall whether it was right for the Supreme Court to do what Congress had not done after the passage of so many years, namely to abolish segregation.

		Frankfurter's nasty remark was emblematic of a high court when the justices were described by Oliver Wendell Holmes as "nine scorpions in a bottle."
		It's not only fair but important, because the chief justice's authority and influence today extend beyond the walls of the Supreme Court to how cases are handled under rules and procedures in the federal courts, and to what kind of cases may be brought, said Theodore Ruger of University of Pennsylvania Law School.
		The chief justice, Garnett said, is responsible for circulating the initial "discuss list," a roster of petitions for certiorari that he has found "cert worthy," in the justices' weekly conference.

		Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter endured political vituperation from the right for being a radical and from the left for being a reactionary.
		Kurland, believing that teh importance of Justice Frankfurter cannot be captured in a catchword or cliche, has provided you with an excellent introduction to his judicial bahavior by selecting excerpts from the Justice's nearly 750 opinons on the Court and the Constitution.
		The fact remains that he was the latest of the great keepers of the legend: a legend of a nonpolitical Supreme Court dedicated to the maintenace of a government of laws founded on reason and based on a faith in democracy.

		Frankfurter once wrote, "When all is said letter writing is the most abidingly fascinating literary form" (letter to his wife, 3 October 1922), and it was a form in which he certainly excelled.

		Justice Holmes wrote for a unanimous Court, affirming the convictions.
		It was held that the legislature was not unreasonable in believing organization of such a party "involves such danger to the public peace and the security of the State, that these acts should be penalized in the exercise of its police power." 274 U.S. at 371.

		Chief Justice, I think that what was done was a matter of politics, was a matter of doing the thing which, at that time, was to them the opportune thing to do; it was the question of giving away this with the idea of pressing this which was the stronger thing.
		JUSTICE FRANKFURTER: I mean that that denial to the states and to the Congress of the United States and to the District is written in by plain implication of the Fourteenth and the Fifth Amendment; that is what I want to know.
		JUSTICE BLACK: You have just referred to the fact that we said that under the Fifth Amendment such laws are suspect, which means that we look at them very carefully to see if they can discriminate on account of race, or distinguish on account of race.

		The Frankfurter of "F F's Soliloquy" was a judge openly hostile to the accused and manifestly unwilling to afford them procedural safeguards.
		Although Frankfurter's attachment to such views was strong, it was not powerful enough to withstand the winds of war.
		It was during this period that Frankfurter drafted the fanciful exchange between himself and the saboteurs which he entitled "F F's Soliloquy" In it he expressed views more reflective of his feelings about the war than his normal concern with ensuring procedural fairness for even the most unpopular defendants.

		The crux of the matter is that courts are not fit instruments of decision where what is essentially at stake is the composition of those large contests of policy traditionally fought out in nonjudicial forums, by which governments and the actions of governments are made and unmade.

		Justice Thompson, in dissent, agreed that much of the matter in the bill was not fit for judicial determination.

		A professor (1914–39) at Harvard law school, Frankfurter was also active during these years outside the academic world.
		His appointment by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the U.S. Supreme Court brought a man of marked liberal tendencies to the high bench; but Frankfurter was also a firm adherent of judicial restraint.
		Although much concerned with fair legal procedure, he upheld legislation limiting civil liberties in the belief that the government has a right to protect itself through investigative committees and legislation, and that the court must exercise self-restraint in interfering with the popular will as expressed by its representatives.
