As chief justice, William Howard Taft (1921-1930) espoused the same philosophy: Dissents fostered an appearance of uncertainty and were only a form of egotism anyhow, in his view.

 A Judicial Blackout: Judicial Impunity for Disappearances in Punjab, India
Retired Justice S. Sodhi, who served as justice on the Punjab and Haryana High Court and later as Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court, described the communalism on the bench; of particular salience was his experience with the assignment of cases.
Several High Court justices and lawyers described the judiciary’s attempts to ignore disappearances and “sweep the matter under the carpet.”[96] The High Court’s reliance on the police’s denial or its lack of motive as evidence of its innocence shows that the High Court did not intend to investigate these allegations.
Justice D. Tewatia, a former Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court, chaired the panel, accompanied by Justice H. Suresh, a retired judge of the Maharashtra High Court, and Justice Jaspal Singh, a retired judge of the Delhi High Court.

 Mark Tushnet's A Court Divided. By Jeffrey Rosen
Tushnet ascribes the court's comparative moderation to divisions among the Republican justices, arguing that intra-party tensions have limited the degree to which they were willing to advance the agenda of the corporate supporters of the Republican Party.
The court does indeed follow the election returns, and there does not yet seem to be a national constituency for dismantling the regulatory state root and branch.
Occasionally, the court tries to impose a vision that is intensely contested by national majorities (as it did during the 1930s), and in these rare cases it tends to provoke a political backlash, followed by a judicial retreat.
