He knew it at the time. So they wouldnt sign the brief. They said were not signing it, were not going to defend this. Then they a big fight between departments and who was brought in to mediate, herbert j. Wexler.

The government. 63. Famous case. And who is it who upheld . The government. Black, douglas, frankfurter, the liberals who had, in fact, would sign brown versus board.
