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.

United States v. J. B. Montgomery, Inc. No. 66 Argued January 8, 1964 Decided March 23, 1964 376 U.S. 389
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Syllabus
Appellee is a contract carrier which had been authorized to transport a variety of commodities for shippers in specified businesses. Acting under § 212(c) of the Interstate Commerce Act as amended in 1957, the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) converted appellee’s contract carrier permit into a common carrier certificate, but imposed the restriction, challenged by appellee in this proceeding, that shipments be limited to those "from, to, or between wholesale and retail outlets" and stores.
Held: the ICC in sanctioning the conversion of appellee’s contract carrier permit into a common carrier certificate had authority under § 212(c) to impose only such restrictions as those under which the contract carrier was operating before the conversion, and appellee may therefore continue to exercise such privileges as it then enjoyed. Pp. 389-396.
206 F. Supp. 455, affirmed.
