Talk:Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer

Prior history?
In the following exerpt: "When the Court asked if the government took the position that "when the sovereign people adopted the Constitution,. . . it limited the powers of the Congress and limited the powers of the judiciary, but it did not limit the powers of the Executive", he assured Judge Pine that it did. He was, however, unable to name any cases that had held that the Court had this power."

It seems to me from the text that the last clause should read "...unable to name any cases that had held that the Executive [or President] had this power." Is this an error? --agr 22:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

You're right
My mistake. Thanks. I'll fix it along the lines you suggest. --Italo Svevo

Questions
I am no authority on this subject, just a wikipedia user. I would like to make a few complaints because this particular entry is not very well done unlike other entries on significant court decisions in the U.S. Why is there only one citation? In my American history class, my professor said that Truman did invoke the Taft-Hartley act, which gives 80 days to find common ground, but that after 80 days none was reached and only then did he seize the mills. The opening few sentences in the background section talk about the government not repeating wartime economic interventions carried out in WW2, but these aren't clearly explained for the layman (like myself) to understand. Thats as far as I got before losing patience. I hope I don't have more complaints as I continue reading this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zejoro (talk • contribs) 04:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Aftermath section incomplete
Did the steel industry capitalists receive compensation for the illegal seizure that happened, no matter how short-lived? Did the Congress impeach Turman for his illegal act?

If the SCOTUS actually allowed gov't to seize the steelworks, how could Truman pay for their worth? I think the US steel industry at the time was worth more than the 4000 tons of gold stored at Fort Knox. I heard just compensation as per US constitution must be given in objects of real value, i.e. paper money dollars can be refused. 91.83.19.117 (talk) 21:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Citations?
The citations on this page seem woefully inadequate. I'm surprised this article isn't tagged yet. Any thoughts? Concchambers (talk) 09:15, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
