Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. MCI Telecommunications Corp. v. Illinois Commerce Commission's waiver holding remains good law after rehearing, but its 1999 opinion at 183 F.3d 558 was vacated. The Seventh Circuit granted rehearing after College Savings Bank and reaffirmed that Illinois waived immunity by undertaking the federal telecommunications regulatory role in MCI Telecommunications Corp. v. Illinois Bell Telephone Co., 222 F.3d 323 (7th Cir. 2000).
More on how this was screened

All 41 flagged citations have been read; none shows later adverse treatment of that holding. Cite the 2000 rehearing opinion for the court's operative ruling.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

41 later cases cite MCI Telecommunications Corp. v. Illinois Commerce Commission; 41 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.
