It appears that most of this article has been copied and pasted from the source text of the case. --Eastlaw talk ⁄ contribs 01:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

B-Class? Are you kidding me?

[edit]

I have been a practicing lawyer in USA for some years. How did this article in its current form as I write this get a "B"? As someone else pointed out, it seems to have been largely copied out of a court document. Moreover it is hard to understand because the language is from a previous century. The part of the article that appears to have been added really does not get at the significance of this case. I understand that sometimes people copy stuff over to get a head start on an article and that furthermore this might not be a copyvio here because the court opinions are public documents. However, it doesn't make for any sort of a useful article much less a B-class one. When I see ratings like this it causes me to lose a lot of faith in the ratings system and just think of it as arbitrary ratings that are sometimes good and sometimes not.

I blanked most of this and rewrote it into something readable that has more info than just a cut and paste of the opinion. It's certainly not B-class now either but it's way better than the last awful version was. It could use some more sources and analysis of the holding and its effects on international law, treaty law, property law, etc. which someone needs to dig out of secondary sources (probably law journal articles and law books, this isn't one of the Supremes' greatest hits).
