Warren E. Burger,
Baldwin v. New York — Dissent
“ I find it somewhat disconcerting that with the constant urging to adjust ourselves to being a 'pluralistic society'-and I accept this in its broad sense-we constant pressure to conform to some uniform pattern on the theory that the Constitution commands it. ”
Warren E. Burger,
Baldwin v. New York — Dissent
“ I see no reason why an infinitely complex entity such as New York City should be barred from deciding that misdemeanants can be punished with up to 365 days' confinement without a jury trial while in less urban areas another body politic would fix a six-month maximum for offenses tried without a jury. ”
