Document: 417 U.S. 733 94 S.Ct. 2547. 41 L.Ed.2d 439 Jocob J. PARKER, Warden, et al., Appellants,v.Howard B. LEVY. No. 73—206. Argued Feb. 20, 1974. Decided June 19, Syllabus Article 90(2) of the Uniform Code Military Justice (Code) provides for punishment any person subject to who 'willfully disobeys a lawful command his superior commissioned officer'; Art. 133 punishes officer 'conduct unbecoming an and gentleman'; 134 (the general article) for, inter alia, 'all disorders neglects prejudice good order discipline in armed forces,' though not specifically mentioned Code. Appellee, Army physician assigned hospital, was convicted by court-martial violating disobeying hospital commandant's establish training program Special Forces aide men, Arts. making public statements urging Negro enlisted men refuse obey orders go Vietnam referring personnel as 'liars thieves,' 'killers peasants,' 'murders women children.' After conviction sustained within military he exhausted this avenue relief, appellee sought habeas corpus relief District Court, challenging on ground that both are 'void vagueness' under Due Process Clause Fifth Amendment overbroad violation First Amendment. The Court denied but Appeals reversed, holding void vagueness, while appellee's conduct fell example violations contained Manual Courts-Martial, possibility articles would be applied others' future which there insufficient warning, or area protected expression, enough give standing challenge their face, joint consideration 90 charges gave rise 'reasonable possibility' right fair trial prejudiced, so new required. Held: 1. Articles unconstitutionally vague Pp. 752—757. (a) Each article has been construed United States other authorities, such limit its scope, thus narrowing very broad reach literal language articles, at same time supplying considerable specificity way examples they cover. 752—755. (b) being condemned specifying no standard all, type statutes 'by terms authoritatively apply without question certain activities, whose application behavior is uncertain,' Smith v. Goguen, 415 566, 578, 1242, 39 605. 755—756. (c) Because factors differentiating from civilian society, Congress permitted legislate with greater breadth flexibility when prescribing rules former than latter, proper review vagueness applies criminal regulating economic affairs, met here, since could have had reasonable doubt if ordered do 'unbecoming gentleman' 'to 134, respectively. 756—757. 2. Nor facially invalid because overbreadth. 757—761. Doctrines overbreadth asserted support challenges imprecise like exempt operation principles excluded protection, fundamental necessity obedience, consequent discipline, may render permissible constitutionally impermissible outside it. 758—759. There wide range infringing Amendment, marginal applications values infringed, invalidate either behest. His publicly might send them into combat unprotected most expansive notions prohibit conduct, sufficiently large number similar related types preclude invalidation 760—761. 3.
