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.
Jett Bros. Distilling Co. v. Carrollton, 252 U.S. 1 (1920)
Jett Bros. Distilling Company v. City of Carrollton No. 108 Argued December 19, 1919 Decided March 1, 1920 252 U.S. 1
ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF KENTUCKY
Syllabus
An objection that a tax is void under the Fourteenth Amendment because of systematic discrimination by officials in making assessments, but which does not draw in question before the state court the validity of the statute or authority under which they acted, will not support a writ of error from this Court under Jud.Code, § 237, as amended. P. 5.
A petition for rehearing merely overruled by the state court without opinion is not a basis for a writ of error. P. 6.
Writ of error to review 178 Ky. 561 dismissed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
