SUPREME COURT DECISIONS OVERRULED BY

SUBSEQUENT DECISION

Following the celebration of its one-hundredth anniversary, the Constitution of the United States of America: Analysis and Interpretation is currently

undergoing significant revisions as part of an ongoing review of the document. In order to provide an objective list of cases in which the Court has

overturned a prior ruling, the following list encompasses only those cases in

which the Court has explicitly stated that it is overruling a prior case, or

issues a decision that is the functional equivalent of an express overruling.

In instances where a majority of the Court distinguishes (but does not overrule) an earlier holding, that case is not included in this listing, as only the

Supreme Court has the prerogative of overruling its own decisions. See Rodriguez de Quijas v. Shearson/Am. Express, Inc., 490 U.S. 477, 484 (1989);

Agostini v. Felton, 521 U.S. 203, 237 (1997). As the review of this list continues, other decisions may be added to or deleted from this list based on this

criterion.

The present compilation was initially based primarily upon the following sources:

Justice Brandeis dissenting in Burnet v. Coronado Oil & Gas Co. 285 U.S. 393, 406–409

nn.1–4 (1932).

Emmet E. Wilson, Stare Decisis, Quo Vadis? 33 Geo. L.J. 251, 254 n.17, 265 (1945);

William O. Douglas, Stare Decisis, 49 Colum. L. Rev. 735–43, 756–58 (1949);

Albert R. Blaustein and Andrew H. Field, Overruling Opinions in the Supreme Court, 57

Mich. L. Rev. 151, 184–94 (1958).
