U.S. Supreme Court Gets It Right All The Time?

jackson_robert.jpgThe late Justice Robert H. Jackson suggested that often, the justices don't:

There is no doubt that if there were a super-Supreme Court, a substantial proportion of our reversals of state courts would also be reversed. We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.

-- Robert H. Jackson, Brown v. Allen (1953)(concurring)
