More on how this was screened

Later opinions describe that overruling without adding a separate adverse treatment.

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.

32 later cases cite Gillespie v. Oklahoma; 32 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.

Overruled

  • The Supreme Court expressly overruled Gillespie's rule that a state could not tax a lessee's income from federal Indian land.

    Helvering v. Mountain Producers Corp. · Supreme Court of the United States · filed

    We are convinced that the rulings in Gillespie v. Oklahoma, supra, and Burnet v. Coronado Oil & Gas Co., supra, are out of harmony with correct principle and accordingly they should be, and they now are, overruled.
