Today in Supreme Court History: September 8

Tuscarora Nation of Indians v. Power Authority of the State of New York, 79 S.Ct. 4 (decided September 8, 1958): Harlan partially affirms and partially reverses Second Circuit’s stay of condemnation of Tuscarora lands for power project; power authority says it can hold off on some parts of it without financial loss; notes that tribe’s separate action disputing the Power Authority’s license in the D.C. District Court would be heard by the D.C. Circuit, not the Second Circuit (the Power Authority eventually won, 362 U.S. 99, 1960)
