Speiser v. Randall 357 U.S. 513 (1958) was a U.S. Supreme Court case addressing the State of California’s refusal to grant to ACLU lawyer Lawrence Speiser a veteran of World War II a tax exemption because that 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.
