Bigelow v. Virginia, 421 U.S. 809 (decided June 16, 1975): Roe v. Wade permitted not only abortions but advertising for abortions (Roe was decided during pendency of litigation and Virginia had to drastically scale back its argument)

Susan B. Anthony List v. Driehaus, 573 U.S. 149 (decided June 16, 2014): pro-life group making pre-enforcement challenge to law prohibiting false statements during election campaigns alleged enough "imminent" (as opposed to "chimerical") harm to create "case or controversy" allowing suit to go forward (here, they had made statements criticizing votes on the Affordable Care Act)

Universal Health Services v. Untied States, 579 U.S. 176 (decided June 16, 2016): parents of Medicaid receiving teenager who died because of misprescribed drug given by uncertified doctor could pursue qui tam ("private attorney general") action against health provider under False Claims Act (defrauding government by submitting false certifications)

Allen v. St. Louis, I.M. & S.R. Co., 230 U.S. 553 (decided June 16, 1913): commission's rate for intrastate tariff was not confiscatory "taking" because rationally based on proportion of railroad's interstate v. intrastate business

"prohibiting false statements during election campaigns"

If I recall that case, the state already had defamation laws, but the state legislature tried to add to that by giving special extra protections and special procedures for alleged falsehoods against politicians.

Another day, another humiliation of Profs. Blackman and Barnett -- and the Volokh Conspiracy -- by captcrisis.

[DaivdBehar]

Hi, Rev. Not really. Cappie repeatedly makes the point by his list. Garbage decisions from garbage people, attacking and damaging our lawyer besieged nation.

[Syd Henderson]

None of those strike me as huge cases, but Dayton v. Dulles looks interesting in historical retrospective. Bigelow too.

[Dan Schiavetta]

thanks!

Actually that "Untied States" case has gotta be a good one,

IANAL but,
June 16, 1978 - In the twelfth major-league season of a career speckled with near-misses, Cincinnati's Tom Seaver finally hurls a no-hitter. The Cardinals are the 4-0 victims as Seaver strikes out three. (Today Tom Terrific'd be pulled in the 5th when he hit a 100 pitches)
June 16, 1993 - Ken Griffey, Jr., slugs his 100th career home run in Seattle's 6-1 victory over Kansas City to become the fourth-youngest to hit the century mark. Only Mel Ott, Eddie Mathews and Tony Conigliaro did it faster than the 23-year-old Griffey (and with only Alcohol/Nicotine as their PED)

June 16,1995 - Marlins outfielder Andre Dawson hits his 400th N.L. home run and 429th of his career in a 2-1 win over the Phillies. (would have hit 900 with PED's)

and the one that Sleepy's handlers should be totally fired over not having a Rose Garden Ceremony today, correcting another injustice to the Nobel Red Man,

June 16, 1909 - Jim Thorpe makes his baseball pitching debut for Rocky Mount (Eastern Carolina League) with a 4-2 win over Raleigh. It is the professional play in this year that will cause him to lose his medals won in the 1912 Olympics.

Hmm... Guess that "Taxation without Representation" on the License Plates isn't really accurate, as they do get to vote for 1 pretty important "Representative"
Only 1 state explicitly rejected the Amendment (surprise, it wasn't Tax-a-chusetts, while 9 took the Merrick Garland Approach (and all were DemoKKKrat States at the time)
Big Surprise D's carrying the District every erection, Tricky Penis did the best getting 21% in 1972, which is actually horrible, given who he was running against.

Come to think of it, I doubt the 23rd Amendment has figured in any Supreme Court decisions. Maybe something involving representation of DC. The closest DC came to mattering in a Presidential election, not surprisingly, was 2000, where if Gore had carried New Hampshire, he would have won by three votes. (There was one abstention.)

[Syd Henderson]

In the Electoral College, ofcourse,

[Frank Drackman]

AlGore/Hilary Rodman are the best arguments against replacing the EC with a "Popular" Vote

[Dan Schiavetta]

Of course.

In the general election, Gore in fact did win, by over half a million.
