Word #4


1. obloquy

2. Near v. Minnesota  283 U.S. 697 (1931)

3. "While reckless assaults upon public men, and efforts to bring obloquy upon those who are endeavoring faithfully to discharge official duties, exert a baleful influence and deserve the severest condemnation in public opinion, it cannot be said that this abuse is greater, and it is believed to be less, than that which characterized the period in which our institutions took shape."

4. abusive language; noun

5. I wanted to bring obloquy against my accuser, but instead held my tongue.
