Why are more than two thirds of the cases listed under this subheading not represented by a page at least outlinging the basic arguments of each of these cases? As many of these cases are notable in that they proceed from decisions or legislation enacted that affects individual liberties or powers granted to the states (see City of Rome v. United States e.g.) The Voting Rights Act of 1965, Cruikshank et al, I would think that the sitting purpose of Wikipedia is not served well (online repository of all knowledge (paraphrased)) by allowing these cases to be ommitted from the public eye. I am not a scholar of the law nor of wikipedia but when trying to research something like for example Northwest Austin Municipality Utility District v. United States and seeing a precedent link in the text of the decisions such as City of Rome, GA v. United States in redtext along with many other coinciding precedent cases I begin to wonder if someone has not wholesale deleted a large swath of precedent to keep it out of the public eye.Marlberg (talk) 19:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
