the Tough minded idealism of purpose gee where was Arthur when King Richard needed him so badly the new York times soon confirmed from its own court sources that reporter Totenberg news cat was washings and the nations Legal the reason is that secrecy is Central to inc integrity of the supreme courts Deli no clerks attend their sessions the Junior Justice goes to the door to take urgent if Protection from out Side influence has been the reason for supreme court secrecy throughout our then it follows that last weeks first breach of that secrecy has introduced the taint of outside influence at the highest judicial if you were one of the judges named As the target of what is described Asun prec dented pressure from the chief jus would you be inclined to freeze your position in the other would you be Likely to change your vote to protest the publicity would you not be Likely to be influenced one Way or the other by the publicity the irony of this is too incredible for fic Tion Here is a Case being appealed not Only for the prosecuting judges refusal to Dis qualify not Only for the absence of the key witness Richard but especially for the prejudicial effects of the enormous pretrial publicity on the and what happens when the supreme court is asked to review it for the first the supreme court itself is infected with undeniably prejudicial if any final proof is needed that the water Gale defendants were tried in an Atmo sphere hostile to Calm the invasion of the privacy of supreme court deliberations on this very matter is that the attorneys for the defendants asked the compromised court for 10 Days to submit a Brief on the Impact on petition ers rights of the first leak from the High est i the american civil liberties Union is the facts Are not in dispute some government whether clerk or jus Tice or window took an action to reveal the Workings of the thereby infringing the defendants when an action by a government employee that had a less direct on the Case of Daniel Ellsburg was made the defendant was freed and his Case the principle is the same today where is the equal Justice under Law that everybody was so hot about a few years ago somebody on or near the supreme court has undermined the our primary con Cern ought not to be who was the leaker that the justices Job to Termine and Correct but How shall the government be punished so As to reaffirm the rights of the individual the answer is Plain the court should not wait 10 Days to learn the but Grant the review forthwith and then throw out the government which has seen a Politi Cal trial and a politically influenced one Hopes the final opinion will be writ ten by Justice Brennan or Justice mar consistent with their position to uphold the Law even when it frees the and accepting the courts responsibility for its own one that the decision will be announced on some decision in dignity and with opinions and dissents written and signed and not leaked to serve anyone
