What The Court Really Has Refused To

If [a United States Supreme Court Justice Is] In The Doghouse With The Chief [justice], He Gets The Crud. He Gets The Tax Cases.

I Am More Optimistic Though, That This Court Will Eventually Conclude That The Effort To Eliminate Arbitrariness While Preserving Fairness In The Infliction Of [death] Is So Plainly Doomed To Failure That Is - And The Death Penalty - Must Be Abandoned Altogether. I May Not Live To See That Day, But I Have Faith That Eventually It Will Arrive.

What The Court Really Has Refused To Recognize Is The Fundamental Interest All Individuals Have In Controlling The Nature Of Their Intimate Associations.

From This Day Forward, I No Longer Shall Tinker With The Machinery Of Death.

This Court Repeatedly Has Recognized That The Whole Subject Of The Domestic Relations Of Husband And Wife Belongs To The Laws Of The States And Not To The Laws Of The United States.
