- "The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare nor should this court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven of reform movements."
Justice Harlan's tenure on the Court was almost identical to that of his opposite, Chief Justice Earl Warren, shifted by about two years. Justice Harlan died a few months after he retired.
