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.
Lewis v. United States, 348 U.S. 419 (1955)
MR. JUSTICE FRANKFURTER, dissenting.
In view of the recentness of the decision in United States v. Kahriger, 345 U.S. 22, and my continuing disagreement with the constitutional views which it expressed, I cannot acquiesce in this decision. Indeed, this case only emphasizes the difficulties which I found in Kahriger, for here, we are concerned with a spurious use of the taxing power as a means of facilitating prosecution of federal offenses.
