4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““[T]he [Supreme] Court left little doubt that not all awards of monetary relief should necessarily be characterized as legal relief for purposes of the jury trial requirement. Appellants’ claim that a jury trial must be afforded whenever any ‘legal’ characteristic is associated with a primarily ‘equitable’ action fails. Here, the award of back pay is an integral part of the equitable remedy of reinstatement. * * * [T]o consider it apart from that context would be to distort the traditional line dividing legal from equitable remedies.””
