General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present.

Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

P. 493.
The Supreme Court of Missouri, following its established practice, refused to consider a sister state judgment which was rendered six months after the judgment of the Missouri trial court and was not set up in any pleading or introduced in evidence, but was brought to the notice of the appellate courts only in argument and as an exhibit to a brief. Held that full faith and credit was not denied. Id.
