Supreme Court decisions of far-reaching consequences have often been accompanied by impassioned dissents. Examples abound, such as Justice Harlan Stone's dissent when the court held a processing tax under the Agricultural Adjustment Act unconstitutional, declaiming, "Courts are not the only agency of government that must be assumed to have the capacity to govern." (U.S. v. Butler, 297 U.S. 1, 87 (1936))
