“some proof that is incompatible with the applicant's claims.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Once the applicant has asserted a prima facie claim for conscientious objector status, the burden of proof shifts to the government to demonstrate “a basis in fact” for denial of his application. Judicial review under the “basis in fact” test is “the narrowest review known to the law.” Sanger v. Seamans, 507 F.2d 814 , 816 (9th Cir.1974). The reviewing court does not weigh the evidence for itself or ask whether there is substantial evidence to support the military authorities’ denial of the applicant’s request for conscientious objector status. Witmer v. United States, . .., 348 U.S. [375] at 380-81 [ 75 S.Ct. 392 at 395, 99 L.Ed. 428 ], .... Rather, the court “searches] the record for some affirmative evidence” to support the authorities’ overt or implicit finding that the applicant “has not painted a complete or accurate picture of his activities.” [citation omitted]. Put another way, the reviewing court should look for “some proof that is incompatible with the applicant’s claims.” [citation omitted].”
