- Subject: No. 74, Orig.--DISSENT, GEORGIA v. SOUTH CAROLINA
-
-
-
-
- SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
-
-
- No. 74, Orig.
-
-
-
- GEORGIA v. SOUTH CAROLINA
-
-
- on exceptions to reports of special master
-
- [June 25, 1990]
-
-
-
- Justice Scalia, with whom Justice Kennedy joins, dissenting in part.
-
- I would sustain South Carolina's exceptions with respect to
- southeastern Denwill and Horseshoe Shoal, and I accordingly dissent from
- Part VII of the Court's opinion. The Court does not purport to alter
- settled principles of law regarding accretion and avulsion but, applying
- those principles to the specifics of this record and acknowledging the
- question to be close, approves the determination of the Master. In my
- view, the facts do not support the Court's holding.
