we've all had times when we wanted to take to
- 00:22
the streets and tell the world how we felt when
- 00:24
we've been wrong We're looking atyou pumpkin spice lattes days
- 00:28
now that right to picket which means to demonstrate outside
- 00:30
of a government office private company or any organisation we
- 00:33
feel like yelling at is protected in the constitution line
- 00:37
up and let's get into the question Did the supreme
- 00:40
court ruled that picketing was protected under the first amendment
- 00:42
in the shank us Well shank the u s created
- 00:46
that clear and present danger rule and no we're not
- 00:49
talking about harrison ford Charles shank was a member of
- 00:53
the socialist party who oversaw the printing and mailing of
- 00:55
leaflets urging men not to submit for the draft during
- 01:00
world war ll the government arrested shank in violation of
- 01:03
the espionage act which congress had passed in order to
- 01:06
curb speech that would endanger the war effort well eventually
- 01:10
shank appeal this case all the way to the supreme
- 01:12
court claiming that the conviction flew in the face of
- 01:15
the first amendment's guarantee of free speech The supreme court
- 01:18
however agreed with his arrest saying that shanks actions presented
- 01:22
a clear and present danger for the united states in
- 01:26
a time of war I wouldn't go ahead and bambi
- 01:29
and keep shank in jail is a supreme court deal
- 01:31
with picketing in see john versus oregon Well dejong versus
- 01:36
oregon did have to do with freedom of assembly but
- 01:39
it wasn't about picking a pack of pickled picketers Oregon
- 01:42
police arrested dirk did yang for speaking out against jail
- 01:46
conditions at a meeting held by the communist party The
- 01:50
supreme court however ruled that states also had to respect
- 01:53
our individual right to peaceably gather well avengers against see
- 01:58
assembled was the supreme court all over the picketing case
- 02:02
in miller v california Well miller v california was a
- 02:05
little more risque since it involved the court defining what
- 02:09
exactly counted as pornography marvin miller conducted a mass mailing
- 02:14
campaign See those leaflets are a tricky business for the
- 02:17
sale of adult content And he was arrested for the
- 02:20
distribution of obscene material Well the supreme court agreed with
- 02:24
the california police saying that obscene materials in this case
- 02:28
pornographic ones did not fall under the protection of free
- 02:32
speech and there's also this sense that our children and
- 02:34
our people don't want to see pornography shouldn't be forced
- 02:37
to see it that we can rule out d too
- 02:39
What about e hazel would be cool Meyer stop the
- 02:43
presses Literally in hazel would ve kohlmeier the supreme court
- 02:47
ruled that student newspapers were a classroom activity not a
- 02:51
forum for public expression That means they were in fact
- 02:55
subject to censorship by school administrators over potentially controversial articles
- 03:01
So we subject eat a prior review That means the
- 03:03
supreme court ruled picketing to be protected under the first
- 03:06
amendment in a thornhill v alabama Thornhill was an important
- 03:10
expansion of the first amendment right to free assembly Originally
- 03:14
the right to assemble was believed tto only apply to
- 03:17
protest against the government That's why byron thornhill was arrested
- 03:21
for picketing is private employer during a strike Well the
- 03:25
supreme court however held that union picket lines even if
- 03:29
directed against private companies Counted as protected assemblies So is
- 03:34
the right answer By protecting the right to picket the
- 03:37
supreme court opened the floodgates for all kinds of peaceful
- 03:40
protest which really put a thorn in the alabama's hillsides
