Inline cite
I removed the inline cite after the name of the decision for three reasons: (1) I couldn't figure out how to make that template point to the Cornell LII page for the opinion; (2) I couldn't figure out how to make the template make the whole reference "xxx U.S. yyy" work as a reasonable link -- somehow the first first part (xxx) was not marked as part of a link, the second part (U.S.) inappropriately linked to a page on the U.S. Reports when "U.S." is actually part of the reference, and the third part (yyy) confusingly contained the whole of the link; and (3) I agree with Bryan Garner that such inline cites are unnecessary and irritating for ordinary readers, especially when that information is readily available for technical readers in footnotes as well as in the infobox here on Wikipedia pages.

I replaced links to NexisLexis with links to Cornell's LII because the NexisLexis content hides behind a paywall. I don't know if there is an appropriate Wikipedia policy, but I don't think we should refer our readers to pay-for-access sites, particularly when other sources are freely available.

Alex's comment
Very impressive!! For more readings about the case and its impact, in addition to using citing references/case notes in commercial databases to find more, you may consider using this list of sources as a starting point available here: http://www1.law.umkc.edu/justicepapers/monelldocs/MonellBibliography01.htm

Hope this helps!
