I've found an earlier case for the existence of a ""coercion test"" for the Spending Clause- Steward Machine Company v. Davis, which came down 50 years before Dole. I'm inclined to change the link in the holding because I think it's usually best to go with the earliest ""precedent-setting"" case if possible, and that Wiki page happens to be more detailed than the one for Dole. On the other hand, Dole is more recent so it's probably more referenced & discussed in blogs, classrooms, etc. than Steward, which I hadn't heard of until recently.  Any objections to this change? 68.58.63.22  "
