...said Justice Harold H. Burton, writing the Supreme Court majority opinion (joined by Felix Frankfurter, Tom Clark, William Brennan, Charles Evans Whittaker and John Marshall Harlan). Even assuming that the Taft-Hartley Act permits the NLRB to assess unions for back pay in certain cases, that, said Burton, would not prevent a plaintiff from seeking full damages in state courts. To hold otherwise, he wrote, would "grant to unions a substantial immunity" from the consequences of illegal mass picketing or coercion...
...acre estate, served them daiquiris and charm, fondled kittens for photographers. But at the very moment Batista was being nice to some newsmen in Havana, his soldiers were throwing others into jail in strife-torn Santiago de Cuba. There, soon after arrival, the Chicago Sun-Times's Ray Brennan, NEA's Ward Cannel and Las Vegas TV Reporter Alan Jarlson were herded into a filthy jail and held incommunicado for nearly ten hours.

Felix Frankfurter, Harold Burton, Tom Clark and John Marshall Harlan dissented. The upshot: 5 to 4 in favor of citizenship for Trop...
...majority opinion, written by Justice John Marshall Harlan, cited the overwhelming precedent upholding criminal-contempt convictions without juries. Justice William J. Brennan reserved his opinion on the constitutional points involved, dissented on the ground of insufficient evidence. But Hugo Black wrote a dissenting opinion for himself, Chief Justice Earl Warren and William Douglas, which struck at the foundations of the judiciary's enforcement powers. Wrote Black: "The power of a judge to inflict punishment for criminal contempt by means of a summary proceeding stands as an anomaly in the law . . .
