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.
Republican Nat’l Comm. v. Burton, 455 U.S. 1301 (1982)
Republican National Committee v. Burton No. A-768 (81-1641) Decided March 11, 1982 455 U.S. 1301
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
An application for a stay, pending appeal, of the California Supreme Court’s judgment -- which held that a statewide referendum petition had effectively suspended the operation of California statutes redistricting congressional districts after the 1980 census, but that the June 8, 1962, primary election nonetheless should be conducted in accordance with the districts established by those statutes -- is denied. Even assuming that the California Supreme Court wrongly interpreted the effect of pertinent federal statute, that court’s judgment appears to be based on adequate and independent state grounds, and this Court has no jurisdiction to review decisions based on such grounds.
