Excerpt of the opinion from Berman et al., Executors v. Parker et al. (348 U.S. 26) with marginalia by E. Barrett Prettyman, Jr., describing his father's reaction to the decision (Judge Prettyman, Sr. wrote the district court opinion):  "After this decision was handed down, "reversing" Pop on the law though affirming him on result, I took it to Pop to read.  I jotted down his reaction, which was as follows:  "That's the first big blow I've had in my confidence that the Constitution will survive."  Circa 1954.
