I'd like to reiterate the question I asked yesterday on your previous public post:

Do you intend to cover cases like Slaughter-house or the Insular Cases that are generally regarded quite negatively, but nevertheless seem unlikely to be overturned any time soon? And leaning more in the direction of trivia, I'd be curious to hear the story of how the Telephone Cases ended up with an entire volume of the United States Reports to themselves.

The Slaughterhouse Cases and the Insular Cases are both on my (running) list of future issues. The Telephone Cases aren't, but I like the trivia idea. :-)

Agreed; the only thing I said was that Slaughterhouse is not particularly well-regarded in the modern legal community.
