True, although at least this time he's admitting that they overturned precedent. The wrong one, incidentally. A better decision would have utterly disavowed the dictum in Santa Clara County v. S. Pac. R., a statement that does not appear in the Court's opinion and makes no sense whatsoever.

A very interesting story, that, and very disturbing when you consider that the court reporter was a former railroad president.
