Davis v. Baltimore & Ohio Railroad

Mr. Justice Harlan,

concurring.

I continue to hold the views first expressed in my separate opinion in Rogers v. Missouri Pac. R. Co., 352 U. S. 500, 559-562, and frequently reiterated since:* (1) cases of this kind are not the proper business of this Court; (2) once accepted for review, however, by the votes of at least four members of the Court, I deem it my duty to participate in their decision. On this basis I join the opinion of the Court.

E. g., Gibson v. Thompson, 355 U. S. 18, 19; Crumady v. The Joachim Hendrik Fisser, 358 U. S. 423, 429; Harris v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 361 U. S. 15, 25; Michalic v. Cleveland Tankers, Inc., 364 U. S. 325, 332; Guzman v. Pichirilo, 369 U. S. 698, 703; Gallick v. Baltimore & O. R. Co., 372 U. S. 108, 122; Dennis v. Denver & R. G. W. R. Co., 375 U. S. 208, 212.
