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.
David Kaufman & Sons Co. v. Smith, 216 U.S. 610 (1910)
David Kaufman & Sons Company v. Smith No. 668 Motion to dismiss or affirm submitted February 28, 1910 Decided March 7, 1910 216 U.S. 610
ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
Syllabus
To give this Court jurisdiction on a direct appeal from, or writ of error to, a court of appeals on the ground of a constitutional question, such question must be real and substantial, and not a mere claim in words.
The questions involved in this case as to the right of the government to collect duties on merchandise coming into the United States from the Canal Zone, Isthmus of Panama, under the Act of March 2, 1905, c. 1311, 33 Stat. 843, have already been settled by the case of Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244, and the writ of error is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
