Supreme Court of the United States January 21, 1980, 78-1006 (Brown v. Glines)

Mr. Justice Stevens,

dissenting.

The question whether 10 U. S. C. § 1034 includes a right to circulate petitions is not an easy one for me. I must confess that I think the plain language of the statute and its sparse legislative history slightly favor the Court’s reading that it does not. Nevertheless, I agree with Mr. Justice Stewart’s *379construction of the statute for two reasons.
