The first Jew on the Supreme Court? Wasn't Louis Brandeis Jewish?

My bad! You are correct ... and thanks for the correction. He was appointed in 1916.

Louis Brandeis is a perfect illustration of the depths to which our federal judiciary has sunk, ever since the appointment of Earl Warren as chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Yes, he was a partisan Democrat and a New Dealer.

However, that did not prevent him from rendering an impartial decision, even if it went against his personal political convictions.

If only we had more jurists like him and Byron White today.
