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
