Justice [[Hugo Black]], a former [[Ku Klux Klan]] member and [[Democrat]] senator known for his judicial hostility to [[religion]], [[racism]] and support of [[pornography]] as [[free speech]], wrote the opinion for the 6-1 Court.  Only Justice [[Potter Stewart]] dissented.  Justices [[Felix Frankfurter]] and [[Byron White]] recused themselves.

Justice Black's opinion was remarkable for citing only one [[precedent]], establishing a modern record for lack of judicial authority.  His sole citation of precedent was to an opinion he himself had written, ''[[Everson v. Board of Education]]'', and it was for the purpose of referencing some historical material included in that decision rather than for its holding.
