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.
