Prewitt, Justice
(concurring in result).
On September 3, 1956, at Nashville, this Court denied the writs on the ground that we had no power to override the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka and consolidated cases, 347 U.S. 483, 74 S.Ct. 686, 98 L.Ed. 873. Following this denial a petition to rehear was filed.
The majority opinion is based on this petition to rehear, and the writer concurs' in results only in the majority opinion. I think the petition to rehear should be disposed of by simply overruling the petition to rehear for the same reason we gave on September 3, 1956, when we denied the writs.
