The Constitutional counter-Revolution of 1937 begins: The supreme court, of the corporate United states, hands down West Coast Hotel v. Parrish, declaring—via the fraudulent 14th amendment—state minimum wage statutes to be lawful.
NOTES:
- This decision purportedly overturned Adkins v. Children’s Hospital, although that decision originated in the District of Columbia, which is under the exclusive jurisdiction of CONgress.
- Ten months previous the court came to the opposite conclusion in Morehead v. New York ex rel. Tipaldo, but did not overturn the former.
Postscript: As a result, excessive Federal regulation rapidly increased deepening the Great Depression.
