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.
Kennard v. Nebraska, 186 U.S. 304 (1902)
Kennard v. Nebraska No. 261 Submitted May 2, 1902 Decided June 2, 1902 186 U.S. 304
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA
Syllabus
There was no dispute as to the facts out of which this controversy arose. The right of the plaintiff to recover under his contract with the state is not for this Court to determine unless the record discloses that he has been deprived of some title, right, privilege or immunity secured to him by the Constitution of the United States, which was specially set up or claimed in the state court.
The decision by the Supreme Court of the Nebraska that the Pawnee Reservation lands in that state were public lands within the meaning of the twelfth section of the Enabling Act did not bring into question the validity of that section, and there is nothing on which to rest a right to review the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nebraska.
The case is stated in the opinion of the court.
