O'BRIEN v. BROWN 409 U.S. 1 (1972)
This decision involved challenges to the unseating of delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The Supreme Court refused to decide the case and stayed the lower court's decision, since the full convention had not met on the question and little time was available to decide delicate, "essentially political" issues. Three Justices dissented.
