Skokie petitions high
court for Nazi ruling
By DIANE DUBEY
Correspondent
THE U.S. Supreme Court will be
asked to avert the proposed June 25
Nazi march in Skokie.
Harvey Schwartz, Skokie corporation counsel, announced Monday, June
5, that his office is preparing a petition
requesting that the high court stay a
lower court ruling that the march is
within the Nazis’ constitutional rights.
Another village request to the Supreme Court, filed Monday, asked the
court to overturn a May 22 appellate
court decision that Skokie’s three ordinances banning the march are unconstitutional.
Skokie’s request for a Supreme
Court stay follows the denial of a similar request by a three-judge federal appellate court panel on June 5.
Judges Wilbur Pell Jr. and Harlington Wood Jr., voted to deny the stay,
while Judge Robert Sprecher favored
the village’s request. The three judges
are the some ones who last month upheld a Feb. 23 decision by U.S. District
Court Judge Bernard Decker that the
three ordinances are illegal.
SKOKIE’S ORDINANCES, approved May 2, 1977, require a $350,000
insurance bond from any group wishing to assemble in the village and prohibit both the wearing of military-style
uniforms by members of political parties and distribution of materials which
incite group hatred.
All three appellate court judges
maintained that the second and third
ordinances violated first amendment
guarantees of free speech, but Sprecher argued that the insurance bond requirement is not an abridgement of
free speech.
On May 26, four days after the appeals court decision, a permit for a
June 25 demonstration in front of Skokie village hall was mailed to the National Socialist (Nazi) Party of
America.
A second permit was issued to the
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Chicago, which is trying to attract 50,000 people from across the country for
a counterdemonstration.

local, state, and federal court systems.
Skokie attorneys have argued that
the Nazis will be violating the rights of
Skokie residents -specifically the
large number of Holocaust survivors
who live in the village-by holding a
uniformed march and displaying swastikas.
The ACLU, however, has maintained that those who are likely to suffer severe psychological harm from
viewing a Nazi demonstration on the
streets of Skokie are free to stay away
from the site of the march.
Both village and ACLU attorneys
have said that they will continue to exhaust all legal options to win for their
respective positions.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded.
