Home Building & Loan Association v. Blaisdell, 290 U.S. 398 (1934), was a decision of the United States Supreme Court holding that Minnesota's suspension of creditor's remedies was not in violation of the United States Constitution. Blaisdell was decided during the height of the Great Depression and has been criticized by modern conservative and libertarian commentators. Nevertheless, Blaisdell has never been explicitly overruled.
