More Unfair? In sharp dissent, Justice Byron White (joined by Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice Potter Stewart) argued that this interpretation of the law had twisted the intent of Congress in passing it. In fact, some observers think that Congress may override last week's decision. As if aware of that possibility, Justice John M. Harlan concurred in the decision, but argued in a separate opinion that to deny Welsh an exemption would show favoritism to religion and thus violate the First Amendment ban against governmental "establishment of religion...
...likely to be Justice Potter Stewart who concurred in Fanny on the basis t his own test for hard-core pornography ("I know it when I see it"), and Justice Hugo Black, who, like Douglas argues that the First Amendment prohibits all censorship. Justices John M. Harlan and Byron White have argued that states should be allowed greater latitude in enforcing their own standards of obscenity and Chief Justice Warren Burger agrees.

Lord Byron Jones (Roscoe Lee Browne) is a wealthy undertaker with two sources of shame: his skin, which is black, and his wife (Lola Falana), who has been carrying on with a white policeman (Anthony Zerbe). Jones discards his cowardice and sues for divorce-a maneuver designed to expose the sinners and, incidentally, the hypocrisy of the state of Tennessee. Jones' "liberation" is his murder, but along the way he frees his brethren and damns the Old South, as presented...
