Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer
Steel Seizure Case
Justice Black wrote the Opinion of the Court, which four other jusitces joined (Frankfurter, Jackson, Douglas, and Burton); Justice Clark concurred without joining the majority opinion. Chief Justice Vinson, joined by Justices Reed and Minton, dissented.
Please read only the Opinion of the Court, the more famous opinion by Justice Jackson, and the dissent. You can ignore the charts (which the software did not allow me to elide), which were an appendix to Justice Frankfurter's lengthy, elided opinion reviewing the history of executive initiative.
