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.

Held that the claim, being founded on alleged torts of federal officials, was not within the Tucker Act or the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims. P. 155.
