Talk:Lochner era

Untitled

Article needs major work

The last paragraph is not inaccurate, but poorly written. Citations would be nice, but it would be more important not to talk about libertarians as a group, but to talk about libertarianism as a philosophy.

Griswold has nothing to do with this discussion. The observation that after West Coast Hotel there is no right under contractual freedom to sell contraceptives does not mean that no right exists. In any case it is a bad example, probably wrong on the law, and very confusing -- deleted.

As for the appendage at the end; why should it be noted that those last two cases were decided during this era?

Removed unreferenced tag: unwarranted

I removed an "unreferenced" tag from this article. While more references can surely be found for this subject, and a much broader article written, the article cites references in text: specifically, several US Supreme Court decisions, each of which has its own article with full citations available. The tag does not belong because the references are incorporated into the text. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Reference to West Coast Hotel v. Parrish dissent

Added a reference to the West Coast Hotel v. Parrish dissent at the end of the libertarian-view paragraph as requested in an HTML comment in the article text. Removed comment from article text.  Doonhamer | Banter  05:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Major Hole!

I think someone needs to add a whole section to this thing. A good bridge to what I think should be added is someone's question, "why should it be noted that those last two cases were decided during this era."

There needs to be a section disscussing the era's relationship with substantive due process. Lochner, and the era, basically depend on substantive due process, but that isn't in here. So, we need those last two cases to discuss this important issue and fill a giant hole in the article. Anyone willing to do the work? Piratejosh85 (talk) 05:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Lochner era

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lochner era's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "McKenna419":

• From Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937: McKenna, at 419.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:55, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
