Judge Pearson's Opinion On Walton Substitution Case
The piece critiques Chief Justice Pearson's ruling in Walton where Congress conscripted soldiers for three years and allowed substitutes. It contrasts Pearson's reasoning with McRee v. W. & W. R. E.

The analysis notes contradictions with prior judges and highlights a perceived danger to government authority.
