Best Answer

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court that considered the planned Skokie march by the National Socialist Party of America to be a matter of free speech.

Thus, the National Socialist Party of America was allowed to march in Skokie and use the swastika as a symbol during their march. (Ultimately, no march was held in Skokie, rather in surrounding neighborhoods).

Correction: Skokie case never reached the U.S. Supreme Court. It was considered the "easy case" because precedent from past 1st Amendment issues would have easily overturned the Illinois State Supreme Court ruling

What was the ruling in the Skokie case?

Skokie is a suburb just north of Chicago in Illinois with a substantial Jewish population including many survivors of the Holocaust. In 1977 the National Socialist Party of America, commonly known as the American Nazi party applied to have a march through Skokie. The ensuing actions of the town to avert this march led to a court case that went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States. The American Civil Liberties Union [ACLU] represented the Nazi's right to march vs. the Village of Skokie that wanted to stop the march. Skokie Public Library has a site on the issue that leads to many articles and documents from that time. See http://www.skokielibrary.info/s_info/in_biography/attempted_march/index.asp
