This 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.
This cause is continued for such period as will enable counsel for petitioner to secure a determination from the Supreme Court of California as to whether its judgment herein was intended to rest on an adequate independent state ground or whether decision of the federal claim was necessary to the judgment rendered. Pp. 33-34.
