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.

East Texas Motor Freight Lines v. Frozen Food Express Argued March 7, 1956 Decided April 23, 1956 * 351 U.S. 49
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Syllabus
On complaint of three motor common carriers under § 204 (c) of the Interstate Commerce Act, the Commission ordered Frozen Food Express, another motor common carrier, to cease and desist from transporting in interstate commerce without a certificate of convenience and necessity fresh and frozen dressed poultry, which it found not to be within the exemption under § 203(b)(6) of the Act of "agricultural . . . commodities (not including manufactured products thereof)." Frozen Food Express sued in a Federal District Court to set aside the order.
Held: fresh and frozen dressed poultry is an "agricultural" commodity within the meaning of § 203(b)(6), and not a "manufactured" product thereof, and the District Court properly set aside the Commission’s order. Pp. 50-54.
128 F.Supp. 374 affirmed.
