 | | In detailing and applauding the sobriety of Justice Stanley Matthews, who was appointed by President Garfield and served on the Court 1881-89, Richard Stevens contrasts the justice's opinion for the Court in HURTADO v. |
 | | Matthews, observes Stevens, soberly rejected Harlan's thesis that the Fourteenth Amendment due process clause incorporated all the safeguards of the Bill of Rights, including the Fifth Amendment grand jury guarantee at issue in HURTADO, making them binding on the states as well as the national government. |
 | | For Matthews, according to Stevens, due process required only that states proceed against individuals according to the "law of the land"- that is, established laws and procedures. |
