I moved the article, as the citation is not part of the style of the case, hence not properly part of the article title.

More background

[edit]

How did this case come to be before the Supreme Court? What amendment was in question? RJFJR (talk) 19:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by scholar mentioned in article

[edit]

[26 January 2013: Seth Barrett Tillman adds:] It is not surprising that historian David Kyvig agreed with Lee. When Kyvig wrote in 1996, prior to Tillman's publication in 2005, no other theory was on the table. In contrast to historian David Kyvig, Professor Forrest McDonald -- a period historian -- considered both points of view, and adopted Tillman's position. McDonald's considered views are available for public inspection.[1] 89.100.206.151 (talk) 20:18, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything in the Forrest McDonald letter that mentions or alludes to Hollingsworth or to Article V of the Constitution. It only discusses Article I. So, I think it would be sufficient at the end of this Wikiedia article to mention that Kyvig opined prior to publication of the 2005 Texas Law Review article.
