ABSTRACT
It is not infrequent that those most intolerant of the rights of others are the most vigorous in seeking the protection of their own. A large part of the constitutional law relating to freedom of religion has been developed because of the readiness of the Jehovah's Witnesses to resort to the courts for the protection of their rights and their ability to sustain the costs of carrying their cases to the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals of Georgia sustained it against such attack. On appeal to the Supreme Court, the appeal was dismissed for want of a substantial federal question. Although the Supreme Court was not pellucid in the announcement of the controlling doctrine, there is evidence in the opinion of the application of the proper standard: classification in terms of religion, whether it be for purposes of controlling solicitation of funds or controlling some other conduct is invalid.
