General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie, 432 U.S. 43 (1977)
National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie No. 76-1786 Decided June 14, 1977 432 U.S. 43
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE
SUPREME COURT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
The Illinois Supreme Court denied a stay of the trial court’s injunction prohibiting petitioners from marching, walking, or parading in the uniform of the National Socialist Party of America or otherwise displaying the swastika, and from distributing pamphlets or displaying materials inciting or promoting hatred against Jews or persons of any faith, ancestry, or race, and also denied leave for an expedited appeal.
Held:
1. The Illinois Supreme Court’s order is a final judgment for purposes of this Court’s jurisdiction, since it finally determined the merits of petitioners’ claim that the injunction will deprive them of First Amendment rights during the period of appellate review.
2. The State must allow a stay where procedural safeguards, including immediate appellate review, are not provided, and the Illinois Supreme Court’s order denied this right.
Certiorari granted; reversed and remanded.
