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.

Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie Railway Company v. C. L. Merrick Company No. 16 Argued January 29, 1920 Decided December 20, 1920 254 U.S. 376
ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT, SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
OF THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA
Syllabus
A decree of this Court affirming "without prejudice" an injunctive decree of a state court upholding a statutory railroad rate against a charge of confiscation determines the adequacy of the rate for the period antedating the decree, and is not superseded by a decree in a subsequent suit holding the rate confiscatory upon new evidence developed by a further test. P. 377.
A federal question which has been specifically settled and is no longer an open one in this Court is not an adequate basis for a writ of error. Id.
Writ of error to review 35 N.D. 331 dismissed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
