rank the follwing cases

[Emsworth]

Some of the cases you mention don't seem to belong on the list. The following rulings were actually good:

1. Texas v. Johnson
2. Goldwater v. Carter
3. West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish (sound decision, unsound reasoning)

The rest range from highly unsound to utterly atrocious:
4. Bush v. Gore
5. Kelo v. New London
6. Schenck v. United States
7. Griswold v. Connecticut
8. Lochner v. New York
9. Roe v. Wade
10. Plessy v. Ferguson
11. Korematsu v. United States
12. Dred Scott v. Sandford

This all could have been avoided if the networks waited untill all the voters, including the ones in the central time zone, got to vote.

In all likelihood, the election would still have been close, and a recount still would have been conducted, even if the networks delayed the announcement of their projections.

If you look at the issue solely on a property dispute you could see the positive points the slaveholders made in regards to runaway slaves.

Dred Scott did not run away. His master took him to free soil voluntarily. Indeed, if he had run away, the case would have been indisputable.
