National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp.
NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel (together with its companion cases mentioned in the dissent) is one of the two opinions (the other is in Module 5) where the Court made what analysts have called its "switch in time that saved nine," i.e., where the Court began to uphold major acts of New Deal legislation--here, the National labor Relations Act of 1935--by reinterpreting or altering past constitutional doctrines, in this case, whether manufacturing can be regulated as part of interstate commerce.
