General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

McCoy v. Shaw Nos. 42 , 473 Submitted April 13, 1928 Decided May 21, 1928 277 U.S. 302
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
A suit to enjoin collection of a tax as violative of treaties between the United States and the Chickasaw Indians and of certain Acts of Congress was dismissed by the state court upon the ground that there was a plain, adequate, and exclusive remedy at law by paying the tax under protest and suing for its recovery. Held that this Court had no jurisdiction to review, as the judgment was put upon an independent, non-federal ground adequate to sustain it. P. 303.
Certiorari to 124 Okla. 256 dismissed.
