Speiser v. Randall, 357 U.S. 513 (1958), was a U.S. Supreme Court case involved the State of California's refusal to grant to ACLU lawyer Lawrence Speiser, a veteran of World War II, a tax exemption because the person refused to sign a loyalty oath as required by a California law enacted in 1954. The court reversed a lower court ruling that the loyalty oath provision did not violate the appellants' First Amendment rights. Warning: template has been deprecated.
