State of Kansas v. United States of America

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that law channeling interstate air travel through new airport requiring a longer drive had at most \negligible\ or \trivial\ effect on right to travel
• holding that where legislation generally prohibited airlines from offering interstate flights from a particular airport, any interference with interstate travel was “trivial” and did not implicate the constitutionally-protected right to travel
• holding that right to travel was not violated by legislation limiting interstate flights out of an airport because the effects on travel did not surpass the threshold of “negligible or minimal impact”
• explaining Clause is not a “nullity” but “simply has not yet been seriously impinged upon”
• describing Crandall as a case where a law “directly burden[s] interstate travel”
• “Indeed, the pedestrian nature of those interests affirmed as substantial calls into question whether any governmental interest—except those already found trivial by the Court—could fail to be substantial.”
