I wonder if the Kelo case got the ball rolling for Obama and his people to start setting up low income and black housing developments near the more affluent areas of American cities. Not to mention migrant settlements as well.
Include Massachusetts v USEPA in that list as well. In that case SCOTUS ruled that carbon dioxide was a “pollutant” under the Clean Air Act.

There was actually a pretty good TV movie about that whole thing. It appears that the local politicians did some real dirty you sh*t…..shocking….and there was no way that case should have turned out the way it did.
On a side note, getting rid of United States v. Wong Kim Ark and Plyler v. Doe, a 1982 case that resulted in a 5-4 decision to strike down a Texas law that sought to deny public schooling to any student not “legally admitted” into the country., would change things almost over night.
The ONLY reason they come here is for the free ride. And we haven’t even felt the ramifications of the disaster that is our southern border.

So much evil has flowed from Wickard , but I’d also add Everson v Board of Education
United States v. Miller
If we give away the store to incentivize lawbreaking and illegal entry, we should anticipate a tidal wave of continuous illegal immigration.
Yes!!!!!!!!
The NFA is so ridiculous it’s painful to debate people on it.
The older Botkin has a great video on YouTube about it and suppressors. Completely dismantles the whole thing.
Just another among many truly racist laws along the Democrat/Communist line of thinking: "Throw 'em a midnight basketball and they'll stop committing felonies"
Yep. And no one has received their property tax increases and school tax increases that are gonna result with all of this….YET
Excellent list, I can’t disagree with any of these. I hope that they can be righted.
Any list like this is not complete without the 1939 US V Miller decision.
“if a pregnant illegal alien walks five feet over the border and then gives birth, that child is a U.S. citizen for life”
This means that if things keep going the way they are and that kid decides to flee back to the homeland, he will be pursued by the IRS and FATCA. Poetic justice. :-)
That’s a good list. But there are several more rulings not made which should have been made a long time ago wrt gun rights.
The 2nd amendment contains the right both to keep and to bear arms. Bear means carry.
Ergo a state should be required to allow open carry or be shall issue for concealed carry. States that are may issue for concealed carry effectively mean they will not issue a concealed carry license unless you are politically connected or can afford to pay a hefty bribe. So if you cannot carry openly or concealed, you have effectively been denied your right to bear arms.
Also, Heller said guns in common use could not be banned. Since then several states have banned guns and magazines which are in common use. All such bans need to be struck down - as do almost all of California’s gun laws. For example California requires all new guns to be able to microstamp the bullet and the shell casing. No such technology exists. No such technology is even feasible. This is a slow motion gun ban by any other name. Strike it down.
The Miller case is interesting. They upheld a ban on sawed off shotguns because such weapons were not of military use....ie they could not be used by a militia.
So guns that are of military use like AR-15s and the like cannot be banned under that logic....right? Those would be useful to a militia. Thus any bans on them or large cap magazines must be stuck down. That’s the inverse of the Miller decision but it is consistent with the logic. Of course the gun grabbers would have kittens if the court were to issue a ruling stating that.
Voisine v. United States (2016)
This upheld a federal law which prohibits persons with misdemeanor domestic violence convictions from owning firearms.
The Constitution does not preclude even convicted felons from keeping and bearing arms.
United States v. Miller (1939)
This upheld the 1934 National Firearms Act, which required that all automatic firearms, short-barreled rifles, and shotguns be registered and required their owners to pay a tax.
The Constitution is clear that keeping and bearing arms is an inalienable right that shall not be infringed. Taxing an inalienable right means it's not a right, because failure to pay the tax revokes it. Registration means it's not a right because failure to register it revokes the right.
Overturn Kelo and restore private property rights.
Good list add one Glenshaw Glass. Free the slaves no direct taxation of wages without apportionment. as stated in the cnstitution. Income as stated needs source and a derivative. wages are only a source cannot be both.
