LAD/Blog #31: Schenck V. United States

 Schenck was warning the people about how the draft was immoral and no one should join it to go fight in war. He was arrested for this and charged for creating chaos among military. This was controversial because many argued he was protected to do this under the 1st amendment. However, the supreme court disagreed and said he was not protected because desperate times call for desperate measures and war was desperate time. Schenck was causing harm and could not be protected.
