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]
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.
