I have no idea what the ascertainable standard of guilt is under the legislation we are considering. In Bridges v. Wixon. 326 U.S. 135 (1945). detention of Harry Bridges under a warrant for deportation on the ground of affiliation with the Communist Party was held unlawful on the ground that the hearing on the question of his membership had been unfair. The court held that more cooperation with a Communist organization in connection with its lawful activities was not sufficient to show "affiliation." In United States v. Lovett. 328 U.S. 303 (1946). a statute forbidding payment of compensation to three named employees of the Government who had been charged with being members of Communistfront organizations was held invalid as a bill of attainder.
