California , 403 U.S. 15 ( 1971 ) , was a United States Supreme Court case dealing with freedom of speech . The Court overturned a man 's conviction for the crime of disturbing the peace for wearing a jacket in the public corridors of a courthouse that displayed the phrase , `` Fuck the Draft '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background of the case 2 The Court 's decision 2.1 Blackmun 's dissent 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links Background of the case ( edit ) On April 26 , 1968 , 19 - year - old Paul Robert Cohen was arrested for wearing a jacket bearing the words `` Fuck the Draft '' inside the Los Angeles Courthouse in the corridor outside the division 20 of the municipal court . He was convicted of violating section 415 of the California Penal Code , which prohibited `` maliciously and willfully disturb ( ing ) the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or person ( by ) offensive conduct , '' and sentenced to 30 days in jail . The conviction was upheld by the California Court of Appeal , which held that `` offensive conduct '' means `` behavior which has a tendency to provoke others to acts of violence or to in turn disturb the peace . '' After the California Supreme Court denied review , the U.S. Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari . The case was argued by Melville Nimmer , representing Paul Robert Cohen , and Michael T. Sauer , representing California . The Court 's decision ( edit ) The Court , by a vote of 5 - 4 , per Justice John Marshall Harlan II , overturned the appellate court 's ruling . First , Justice Harlan began by emphasizing that this case concerned `` speech '' , and not `` conduct '' , as was at issue in United States v. O'Brien . Harlan then stated that any attempt by California to abridge the content of Cohen 's speech would be no doubt unconstitutional except in a few instances , like , for example , if California was regulating the time , place , or manner of Cohen 's speech independent from the content of the speech . Second , Harlan also expressed the concern of the Court that section 415 was vague and did not put citizens on notice as to what behavior was unlawful . Indeed , the words `` offensive conduct '' alone can not `` be said sufficiently to inform the ordinary person that distinctions between certain locations are thereby created . '' Third , the mere use of an untoward four - letter word did not place the speech into a category of speech that has traditionally been subject to greater regulations by the government , as in Roth v. United States , for example . Similarly , Harlan and the Court refused to categorize the speech at issue as a `` fighting word '' under Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire , because no `` individual actually or likely to be present could reasonably have regarded the words on appellant 's jacket as a direct personal insult . '' Finally , the Court was unwilling to give credence to the idea that the government could suppress the type of speech at issue here in order to protect the public at large . Having discarded what was not at issue in this case , Harlan stated that the issue was `` whether California can excise , as `` offensive conduct '' , one particular scurrilous epithet from the public discourse , either upon the theory ... that its use is inherently likely to cause violent reaction or upon a more general assertion that the States , acting as guardians of public morality , may properly remove this offensive word from the public vocabulary . '' The states could not . As to the first theory , the Court stated that it was not presented with any evidence suggesting that the speech was likely to cause an incitement to violence . As to the second theory , the Court stated that while it was a closer call , the rationale was not sufficient . Specifically , Harlan , citing Justice Brandeis ' opinion in Whitney v. California , emphasized that the First Amendment operates to protect the inviolability of the marketplace of ideas imagined by the Founding Fathers . Allowing California to suppress the speech at issue in this case would be destructive to that marketplace . `` To many , the immediate consequence of this freedom may often appear to be only verbal tumult , discord , and even offensive utterance '' , Justice Harlan wrote . `` These are , however , within established limits , in truth necessary side effects of the broader enduring values which the process of open debate permits us to achieve . That the air may at times seem filled with verbal cacophony is , in this sense not a sign of weakness but of strength . '' `` ( A ) bsent a more particularized and compelling reason for its actions '' , Harlan continued , `` the State may not , consistently with the First and Fourteenth Amendments , make the simple public display of this single four - letter expletive a criminal offense . '' In his opinion Justice Harlan famously wrote `` one man 's vulgarity is another 's lyric . '' Thus , Harlan 's arguments can be constructed in three major points : First , states ( California ) can not censor their citizens in order to make a `` civil '' society . Second , knowing where to draw the line between harmless heightened emotion and vulgarity can be difficult . Third , people bring passion to politics and vulgarity is simply a side effect of a free exchange of ideas -- no matter how radical they may be . Blackmun 's dissent ( edit ) In a dissenting opinion , Justice Harry Blackmun , joined by Burger and Black , suggested that Cohen 's wearing of the jacket in the courthouse was not speech but conduct ( an `` absurd and immature antic '' ) and therefore not protected by the First Amendment . The second paragraph of Blackmun 's dissent noted that the Supreme Court of California construed section 415 in In re Bushman 1 Cal. 3d 767 , 83 Cal. Rptr. 375 ( Cal , 1970 ) , which was decided after the Court of Appeal of California 's decision in Cohen v. California and the Supreme Court of California 's denial of review . Blackmun wrote that the case `` ought to be remanded to the California Court of Appeal for reconsideration in the light of the subsequently rendered decision by the State 's highest tribunal in Bushman .

It is the flagship of the Earth Observing System ( EOS ) . The name `` Terra '' comes from the Latin word for Earth . A naming contest was held by NASA among U.S. high school students . The winning essay was submitted by Sasha Jones of Brentwood , Missouri . The identifier `` AM - 1 '' refers to its orbit , passing over the equator in the morning . Contents ( hide ) 1 Launch 2 Mission 3 Malicious cyber activities 4 Gallery of images by Terra 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Launch ( edit ) The satellite was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on December 18 , 1999 , aboard an Atlas IIAS vehicle and began collecting data on February 24 , 2000 . It was placed into a near - polar , sun - synchronous orbit at an altitude of 705km , with a 10 : 30am descending node . Mission ( edit ) Terra carries a payload of five remote sensors designed to monitor the state of Earth 's environment and ongoing changes in its climate system : ASTER ( Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer ) ASTER creates high - resolution images of clouds , ice , water and the land surface using 3 different sensor subsystems . They are the Shortwave Infrared ( SWIR ) ; Thermal Infrared ( TIR ) ; and Visible and Near Infrared ( VNIR ) . They cover 14 multi-spectral bands from visible to the thermal infrared . The SWIR stopped working in 2008 . ASTER was provided by Japan 's Ministry of Economy , Trade , and Industry . CERES ( Clouds and the Earth 's Radiant Energy System ) MISR ( Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer ) MODIS ( Moderate - resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ) MOPITT ( Measurements of Pollution in the Troposphere ) Data from the satellite helps scientists better understand the spread of pollution around the globe . Studies have used instruments on Terra to examine trends in global carbon monoxide and aerosol pollution . The data collected by Terra will ultimately become a new , 15 - year global data set . After launch , operators observed that high energy protons like those found over the South Atlantic Anomaly or the poles could induce single - event upsets that would cause the Motor Drive Assembly ( MDA ) Built - In Test Equipment ( BITE ) to turn off the MDA . These false shut - downs occur 12 - 14 times a month and eventually the operations team automated the recovery to reduce the impact of these shut - downs . Starting in 2007 , increased thermal resistance in the SWIR cryocooler of the ASTER instrument caused the temperature to gradually increase . By 2008 , despite frequent attempts to recycle the cryocooler the data began to significantly degrade and on January 12 , 2009 , ASTER managers declared the SWIR no longer functional due to anomalously high SWIR detector temperatures . Data gathered after April 2008 was declared not usable . On October 13 , 2009 , Terra suffered a single battery cell failure anomaly and a battery heater control anomaly likely the result of a Micrometeoroid or Orbital Debris ( MMOD ) strike . Malicious cyber activities ( edit ) In June and October 2008 the spacecraft was targeted by hackers who gained unauthorized access to its command and control systems but did not issue any commands .
