Baker v. United States

How later courts describe this case

• the exception to the general rule is that this Court will review "fundamental error” on appeal even when no adequate objection has been interposed at trial
• no abuse of discretion partly because the district court asked questions about prospective jurors' associations with law enforcement activities and individually questioned any juror who had such an association
• court will review fundamental error even if no objection is made at trial
• “fascist” and “fellow traveler” held expressions of opinion
