More on how this was screened
Helvering v. Mountain Producers Corp. held that Burnet's state-instrumentality tax-immunity rule was inconsistent with correct constitutional principles.
2 later cases cite Burnet v. Coronado Oil & Gas Co.; 2 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.
