In Cook v. Gralike, 531 U.S. 510 (2001), the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated under the U.S. Constutition a provision in the Missouri Constitution requiring indication on the ballot of whether congressional candidates declined to support a term limits amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Justice John Paul Stevens, writing for the court, stated that this law was not a permissible exercise of the state's power to regulate the time, place, and manner of holding elections for federal offices.
This expanded the holding in U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton. Surprisingly, Justice Antonin Scalia joined Justice Stevens majority opinion, but the other Justices who expressed different views in U.S. Term Limits continued to differ from Justice Stevens on the same or new grounds.
