More on how this was screened

Later courts, including the Supreme Court in Medellín v. Texas, continue to use Percheman's treaty interpretation. Several opinion records omitted the passage containing the Percheman citation. The missing passages were read in complete companion or alternate opinion texts for, and 201740; their excerpts and source links are preserved with the opinion cache.

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.

43 later cases cite United States v. Percheman; 43 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.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 43 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
