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.
Uhler v. Afl-Cio, 468 U.S. 1310 (1986)
Uhler v. AFL-CIO No. A-137 Decided September 7, 1984 468 U.S. 1310
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
An application to stay the California Supreme Court’s mandate prohibiting the placement on the State’s November 1984 ballot of an initiative that would require the California Legislature (or the California Secretary of State) to request Congress to call a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of amending the Federal Constitution to require a balanced federal budget is denied. The California Supreme Court ruled that the proposed initiative would violate both the Federal and State Constitutions, and a majority of this Court would probably conclude that there was an adequate and independent state ground for the state court’s decision. Moreover, applicants’ "political question" claim probably would not be viewed as raising a substantial federal question.
