His complete and total hatred of women drips from the pages of this opinion. No doubt pain and misery is the point. It seems he resents not being able to burn women at the stake or hang them for being witches, like the judges from the 1600’s that he cited with such admiration.

This opinion will be studied in Constitutional Law classes in law schools for the gross abomination that it is. It will forever be held up as one of the most disgraceful opinions of the court, along with Dred Scott and Plessy.
