Justices Hugo Black and Abe Fortas, who are both regarded as among the court's libertarians, strongly opposed the decision. Fortas argued that the FBI agent's affidavit and the informant's word together were sufficient to establish "probable cause." From the bench, Black angrily attacked his colleagues for trying to supervise local magistrates "from a thousand miles away." Justice Byron White said that he was voting with the majority to avoid a deadlocked court (Justice Thurgood Marshall had abstained).
