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.
Sonneborn Brothers v. Cureton, 262 U.S. 506 (1923)
MR. JUSTICE McREYNOLDS, concurring.
I am unable to concur in all said to support the conclusion adopted by the Court. To me, the result seems out of harmony with the theory upon which recent opinions proceed. There is unfortunate confusion concerning the general subject, and certainly some pronouncement that can abide is desirable.
Apparently no great harm, and possibly some good, will follow a flat declaration that, irrespective of analogies and for purposes of taxation, we will hold interstate commerce ends when an original package reaches the consignee and comes to rest within a state, although intended for sale there in unbroken form. It may be said that the effect on interstate commerce is not substantial and too remote notwithstanding the rather clear logic of Brown v. Maryland, 12 Wheat. 419, to the contrary and the much discussed theory respecting freedom of interstate commerce from interference by the states, announced and developed long after Woodruff v. Parham, (1868) 8 Wall. 123. Logic and taxation are not always the best of friends.
