Liberal judge [[Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.]] disliked Harlan, calling him "the last of the tobacco-spitting judges" (which was a "time-honored tradition of the Court").<ref name="ANB"/> On the other hand, the more conservative justice [[David J. Brewer]] publically said of Harlan, that he "believes implicitly in the Constitution. He goes to bed every night with one hand on the Constitution and the other on the Bible, and so sleeps the sweet sleep of justice and righteousness."<ref name="ANB"/>
