Harry Truman's remark came during a dinner party at Justice Hugo Black's home designed to smooth tensions over a Supreme Court ruling Truman didn't like. The remark was reported in The Pursuit of Justice by Kermit L. Hall and John J. Patrick:
Black's purpose was to reduce tensions arising from a decision that Truman considered a personal rebuke. In his autobiography, Justice William O. Douglas remembered, "Truman was gracious though a bit testy at the beginning of the evening. But after the bourbon and canapes were passed, he turned to Hugo [Black] and said, "Hugo, I don't much care for your law but, by golly, this bourbon is good."
