Editing Saenz v. Roe

{{Infobox Case Brief
|court=Supreme Court of the United States
|date=May 17, 1999
|subject=Constitutional Liberties
|facts=In the 1990s, California had the most generous welfare benefits in the United States.

Citizens had to meet a 1-year residency requirement to receive the level of benefits which California was doling out.
|procedural_history=Sáenz, Director of the California Department of Social Services, loses at the federal district court in California.
|issues=Should SCOTUS apply the [[strict scrutiny]] standard of review in this case?
|holding=The state statute of California imposing a durational residency requirement to limit welfare benefits goes against the "[[Constitution_of_the_United_States#Section_1_.28Privileges_or_Immunities_Clause.29|privileges or immunities]]" in the 14th Amendment, Section 1, Clause 2.
|reasons=The right to travel among states is a fundamental right of US citizens.
|rule=SCOTUS hasn't struck down other in-state benefits such as in-state tuition at public universities. 

The "privileges or immunities" in the 14th Amendment, Section 1, Clause 2 is somewhat nuanced based on how SCOTUS members feel at a time.
