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.
Arizona v. New Mexico, 425 U.S. 794 (1976)
Arizona v. New Mexico No. 70, Orig. Decided May 24, 1976 425 U.S. 794
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A BILL OF COMPLAINT
Syllabus
Motion by Arizona, purportedly in its proprietary capacity as a consumer of, and as parens patriae for its citizens who consume, electrical energy generated in New Mexico, for leave to file an original complaint in this Court against New Mexico seeking declaratoy and injunctive relief on constitutional grounds against New Mexico’s tax on the generation of electricity in that State, is denied. The pending state court action in New Mexico by the Arizona utilities involved in this case raises the same constitutional issues and provides an appropriate forum for litigating such issues.
