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.
Wise v. Lipscomb, 434 U.S. 1329 (1977)
Wise v. Lipscomb No. A-149 Decided August 30, 1977 434 U.S. 1329
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
Application for stay of the Court of Appeals’ judgment directing the District Court to require the exclusive use of single-member districts in the election of the Dallas, Tex., City Council, and for recall of the mandate, pending review by this Court, is granted, where it appears that there is a reasonable probability that at least four Members of this Court will vote to grant certiorari, and that, if a stay is not granted, the issues would become moot and the incumbent City Council’s capacity to function effectively might be impaired.
