Just fyi, from your link:
Prosecutions continued until a series of United States Supreme Court decisions in 1957 threw out numerous convictions under the Smith Act as unconstitutional.
Yeah, but the next sentence reads:
The statute remains on the books, however.
And several people where actually sent to jail under this law.
(not to mention the more than 100 people that have been in jail at Guantanamo lately without even getting a trial...)
