Which court case overturned more previous decisions, Ableman v. Booth or Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency?
Ableman v. Booth Ableman v. Booth, 62 U.S. 506 (1859) , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that State courts cannot issue rulings on federal law that contradict the decisions of federal courts, overturning a decision by the Supreme Court of Wisconsin. The Supreme Court held that under the Constitution, the federal courts have the final power to decide cases arising under the Constitution and federal statutes, and that the States do not have the power to overturn those decisions. Thus, Wisconsin did not have the authority to nullify federal judgments or statutes.
Arbitration Fairness Act of 2011 The Arbitration Fairness Act of 2011 is a proposed law in the US Congress to reverse the effects of "14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett" and "AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion". Both judgments held, 5 judges to 4 dissenting justices, that employees and consumers were not entitled to claim for rights in public courts if they had agreed to arbitration in a collective or individual agreement. The result has been negation of statutory rights by contract.
