Dissenting, Justice Hugo Black cracked that "This notion is too subtle for me to grasp," was joined in his usual hard core of liberals by Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice William O. Douglas. "The court apparently takes the position," charged Black, "that a second trial for the same act is somehow less offensive if one of the trials is conducted by the Federal Government and the other by a state." In a surprising aside he noted that the majority opinions would work a hardship only on "the poor and the weak without friends in high places" who could "influence...
