Nevertheless, its landmark legal ruling was widely supported at the time, even by your lot e.g. W. A. Criswell, the Southern Baptist Convention’s former president and pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas was very pleased at the ruling. No thought of ‘improper decisions’ back then.

(by the way, "The Anticanon", available here, is a spectacular article that goes into detail concerning the background and reasoning of the most notorious Supreme Court decisions--specifically Scott, Plessy, Lochner, and Korematsu--along with thoughts as to why those decisions were the ones that got singled out as "the anticanon" rather than others. It's highly readable and is fascinating, and despite not agreeing with everything it has to say, I heartily recommend it to everyone)
