 Taft Court
Pitney's dissent allowed Taft's point that a business is a property, but denied the Court's claim to find on the facts, insisting that it should have ruled solely on the constitutionality of the statute as it applied to Truax and the restaurant.
That said, Pitney wrote that, while a business' value may derive from a particular social order, it was entirely within the police power of the states to regulate the social order as they see fit, and that reasonable alterations of laws - even ones withdrawing certain protections - were not a denial of due process.
As for the equal protection claim, Pitney drew the class line differently from Taft.

In the end, Rehnquist was confirmed as chief justice after a lengthy 89 days, but 33 senators voted against Rehnquist as chief justice--more negative votes than against any other justice who had been confirmed to the High Court up to that time.
The most no-votes anybody had previously received was 26, a number mustered only by Mahlon Pitney in 1912, Charles Evans Hughes in 1930, and Rehnquist in 1971, when he was first confirmed to the court as an associate justice.
