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.

Respondent sought in state court a declaratory judgment that he had been duly elected as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention scheduled to convene on July 10, 1972, and an injunction prohibiting applicants from interfering. Applicants obtained a United States District Court injunction against the injunctive aspect of the state court action, but that injunction was vacated by the Court of Appeals.
Held: The state courts being available to applicants for vindication of their constitutional claims, the application for a stay of the Court of Appeals order is denied.
