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.

Indeed, Chief Justice Earl Warren, who had sided with Black, has been replaced by Warren Burger, who voted with the majority. Justice Potter Stewart, who upheld the anti-injunction law in 1962, voted against it last week...
