Argued January 30, 1930
The argument date is off by one year. The official U.S. Reports syllabus lists Near v. Minnesota as argued on January 30, 1931, not January 30, 1930.
Full reasoning
The official published Supreme Court opinion for Near v. Minnesota gives the case date line as: "No. 91. Argued January 30, 1931.-Decided June 1, 1931." That directly contradicts the article's statement that the case was argued on January 30, 1930.
A secondary source from the Minnesota Historical Society is consistent with the official report, noting that oral arguments were heard in late January 1931. So the year in the article's argument date appears to be a typo or transcription error.
