Childers v. Beaver
Is it still good law? What later courts have actually done to this case.

More on how this was screened
In Oklahoma Tax Commission v. United States, the Supreme Court said its intervening Mountain Producers decision had overruled Childers in effect and refused to restore the earlier tax immunity through statutory interpretation. The confirmed treatment is listed below.
3 later cases cite Childers v. Beaver; 3 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
