Weinberger v. Salfigreen
scotus · 1975 · cited in 3 Massachusetts opinions naming this issue, 1975–1998
2 sentences

1980The plaintiffs’ irrebuttable presumption claim must fail under the reasoning of Weinberger v. Salfi, 422 U.S. 749 (1975).

1975Moving beyond this consideration, we are also of opinion that the irrebuttable presumption analysis is not an appropriate gouge of the constitutionality of a statute such as that proposed in House Bill No. 6092, Appendix A. This conclusion is based on the very recent opinion of the Supreme Court in Weinberger v. Salfi, 422 U. S. 749 (1975), which was decided subsequent to the Morales case.
