Fowler v. Adams, 400 U.S. 1205 (decided August 11, 1970): Black allows Florida candidate for U.S. House to be on ballot even though he refused to pay the $2,125 statutory fee on the grounds that a state cannot set qualifications for federal office; not enough time for the Court to weigh in before the election, and if the fee is upheld Florida can get the $ from him later (I don’t think this issue was ever resolved)
Brennan v. U.S. Postal Service, 439 U.S. 1345 (decided August 11, 1978): Marshall refuses to stay conviction based on violation of Private Express Statutes; does not believe that the Court would agree with applicants (who operated a private letter delivery service) that the Postal Service was an illegal monopoly
