More on how this was screened
Michelin Tire Corp. v. Wages rejected Low's original-package rule and held that nondiscriminatory ad valorem property taxes on imported goods are not barred by the Import-Export Clause.
29 later cases cite Low v. Austin; 29 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.
