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.

Thomson v. United States No. 70 Argued December 7, 1943 Decided January 17, 1944 321 U.S. 19
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
1. In respect of operations by motor vehicle in a coordinated rail motor freight service -- the motor vehicles being operated by contractors under arrangements described in the opinion -- only the railroad was a "common carrier by motor vehicle" entitled to "grandfather" rights under § 206(a) of Part II of the Interstate Commerce Act, since it alone held itself out to the general public to engage in such service. P. 23.
2. The Commission’s so-called "control and responsibility" test, so far as it leads to a different result, is disapproved. P. 26.
Reversed.
Appeal from a decree of a District Court of three judges, dismissing the complaint in a suit to set aside an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, 31 M.C.C. 299.
