'''John McKinley''' (May 1, 1780 – July 19, 1852) was an [[Associate Justice]] of the [[Supreme Court of the United States]]. In 15 years on the Court he wrote only 20 opinions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oyez.org/justices/john_mckinley|title=John McKinley|format=HTML|work=Oyez|publisher=Chicago-Kent School of Law|language=English}}</ref> He dissented in the case ''Bank of Augusta v. Earle'' - a case where the 8-1 majority overruled an opinion McKinley had written on the circuit court; McKinley believed states could limit business activities to businesses chartered within that state.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://law.jrank.org/pages/8511/McKinley-John.html|title=John McKinley|work=law.jrank|format=HTML|language=English}}</ref>
