→Biography: Harlan appears to have been conservative on obscenity matters too, as evidenced by his opinion in Rosen v. United States.
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]] publicly 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"/>

Harlan wrote the majority opinion in ''Rosen v. United States'' (1896), an early Supreme Court case dealing with [[pornography]]. In it, he held against the [[pornographer]] and approved usage of the ''Hicklin'' test, which stated that obscenity was not protected by the [[First Amendment]] at all for any reason.
