Legal Doctrine/Philosphy for Due Process form previous court - History question

In my past searches, I came across a (Chief Justice) Court who defined due process in a (vaguely remembered paraphrasing) way similar to- the law has to work, it has to be functional, it has to make sense, and it shouldn't be easy to break accidentally, or or so poorly worded as to inflict harm on The People by accident.

Which Court was this, and is this doctrine still in force? Upon further searching the closest I can come to finding it again is a description of Substantive Due Process.
