Abrams v. U.S. and Schenck v. U.S.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court that considered the planned Skokie march by the National Socialist Party of America to be a matter of free speech. Thus, the National Socialist Party of America was allowed to march in Skokie and use the swastika as a symbol during their march. (Ultimately, no march was held in Skokie, rather in surrounding neighborhoods). Correction: Skokie case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. It was considered the "easy case" because precedent from past 1st Amendment issues would have easily overturned the Illinois State Supreme Court ruling
Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919)Schenck involved a protest of the draft during World War I, fought between 1914 and 1918. Charles T.

United States v. Schenck et al., 253 F. 212 (E. D. Pa. 1918)Yes. The US Supreme Court affirmed the US District decision. Judge Whitaker Thompson had found both Schenck and Baer guilty under the Espionage Act and sentenced them to remarkably short terms. The maximum penalty for Schenck's alleged crime was 10 years in prison, plus a fine, for each of the three counts charged. Schenck was only sentenced to six months in prison; Baer was sentenced to 90 days.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
Possibly September 5, 1877.No one seems to know the answer to this question; Charles Schenck's birth and death dates are listed as question marks in the few publications that mention any personal information.Charles Schenck (some sources list the middle initial as T; others as J) was an official of the Socialist Party in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when he was arrested for distributing anti-war literature in 1917. The National Civil Liberties Bureau (NCLB), a precursor to the ACLU, advanced Schenck v. US as a test case challenging the constitutionality of the Espionage Act of 1917, under which Schenck and his alleged co-conspirator, Dr. Elizabeth Baer, were charged.The US Census Bureau lists only one Charles Schenck in the Philadelphia area in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census records, Charles T. Schenck, whose birth year was estimated as 1878. According to census records, he married a woman named Margaret or Margeret sometime between the 1920 and 1930 count. Margaret's year of birth was estimated as 1889.1920 Census (also 1900, 1910 census)Charles T. Schenck b. about 1878Spouse: None listedPhiladelphia, PA1930 CensusCharles T.

A woman named Margaret Schenck, born March 3, 1888, died in Trenton in 1967.The close proximity of Trenton to Philadelphia (about 33 miles), similar names and birth dates suggest September 5, 1877 may be the correct date.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
