Talk:Lochner era

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article needs major work

The last paragraph is not inaccurate, but poorly written. Citations would be nice, but it would be more important not to talk about libertarians as a group, but to talk about libertarianism as a philosophy.

Griswold has nothing to do with this discussion. The observation that after West Coast Hotel there is no right under contractual freedom to sell contraceptives does not mean that no right exists. In any case it is a bad example, probably wrong on the law, and very confusing -- deleted.

As for the appendage at the end; why should it be noted that those last two cases were decided during this era?

[edit] Removed unreferenced tag: unwarranted

I removed an "unreferenced" tag from this article. While more references can surely be found for this subject, and a much broader article written, the article cites references in text: specifically, several US Supreme Court decisions, each of which has its own article with full citations available. The tag does not belong because the references are incorporated into the text. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to West Coast Hotel v. Parrish dissent

Added a reference to the West Coast Hotel v. Parrish dissent at the end of the libertarian-view paragraph as requested in an HTML comment in the article text. Removed comment from article text.  Doonhamer | Banter  05:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
