Imperialism Realized in Supreme Court Ruling
The article denounces the Supreme Court for expanding imperial policy after the Porto Rico cession.

It cites Chief Justice Marshall and warns of long-term constitutional subservience to executive power. It reflects editorials from Indianapolis Sentinel and Boston Herald on imperialism and division in the court.
