...enforce their own laws on subversive activity against the United States Government would, as the Supreme Court argued in the Nelson case of 1956, conflict with and duplicate Federal legislation which has pre-empted the field. The other ABA recommendations--to give the Secretary of State broad power to withhold passports from "alleged subversives," to strengthen the already too stringent Smith Act, to extend the already too wide security program, to tighten immigration laws requiring the deportation of Communists (probably unconstitutional, and at least unjust, as they stand)--similarly represent dangerous incursions upon individual political liberty...
...Token? The impact of Almond's decision spread fast and spread hard through the South. Virginia, the traditional leader, had originally provided in its massive-resistance laws-in its authorization for the Governor and/or assembly to seize control of the schools from local districts, to close schools, to withhold school funds, etc.-a promising pattern of lawful resistance to the Supreme Court's basic 1954-55 decisions.

...perfect right to describe him as he did. Actually, the Pennsy, not Phillips, was the injured party. It was Phillips, said Judge Kraft, who had "knowingly, maliciously and intentionally violated" SEC rules by secretly sending telegrams to two Swiss banks in an effort to have the banks withhold their proxies. Only slightly taken aback, Phillips announced that he would appeal-to demand that Pennsy's directors be required to pay from their own pockets the cost of fighting his attempt to get on the board...
