37. In Lochner v. New York, 198 US 45 (1905), Mr. Justice Holmes, the celebrated Judge of the U.S. Supreme Court in his classic dissenting judgment pleaded for judicial tolerance of state legislative action even when the Court may disapprove of the State Policy. Similarly, in his dissenting Judgment in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 US 479, Mr. Justice Hugo Black of the U.S. Supreme Court warned that "unbounded judicial creativity would make this Court a day-to-day Constitutional Convention." Justice Frankfurter has pointed out that great Judges have constantly admonished their brethren of the need for discipline in observing their limitations (see Frankfurter's 'Some Reflections on the Reading of Statutes').
