“While the Senate last week was burying McCarthy, the United States Supreme Court buried McCarthyism. The decisions in the Schware and Konigsberg cases do more than decide that radicals have a right to practice law. The decisions turn their back on an error in which the mere allegation of leftist sympathy or affiliation was enough to put a man outside the pale. The striking example will illustrate how unmistakably the court has turned back the clock to an earlier and saner period. One of the charges on which the New Mexico Board of Bar Examiners refused to permit Rudolph Schware to take its tests for admission to the bar was his arrest and indictment in 1944 recruiting volunteers to aid the loyalists in Spain. The Supreme Court says, “even if it be assumed that the law was violated, it does not seem that such an offense indicated moral turpitude… Many persons in this country actively supported the Spanish loyalists,” and it adds coolly, “in determining whether a person’s character is good the nature of the offense which he has committed must be taken into account.” This has a positive Rip van Winkle-ish flavor; it awakens from a twenty-year sleep the forgotten attitudes most thoughtful Americans shared at the time; it expunges two decades of carefully nurtured nightmare.”
–From I.F. Stone’s “The Court Turns Back the Clock,” a column from May 13, 1957.
