Thank you We sneak Then here's your shmoop too sure

00:05

brought to you by picketing a pastime for those feeling

00:09

fenced in All right in which case did the supreme

00:12

court ruled that picketing was protected under the first amendment

00:16

and hear the potential answers right here All right well

00:20

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
