A number of years ago, I started reading about the Supreme Court and biographies of the Justices. As you can see by this book, I am still reading about the Court. I find it absolutely fascinating and cannot seem to quench my thirst for knowledge. It is almost one hundred years since the first Jew was appointed to the Supreme Court. Needless to say, it was hotly debated. There was also a time in our history when no president would nominate a Catholic to the Supreme Court. All Justices were white, male Protestants. Today we have only one Protestant on the Court, three Jews and the rest are Catholic. Of the eight Jewish Justices, Frankfurter and Fortas started out as orthodox but abandoned observances by adolescents. Brandeis was not a practicing Jew. Goldberg played an active role in organized Jewry. Breyer is a member of the Reformed Synagogue. Ginsburg and Kagan are active in their faith. Ginsburg has a mezuzah on the door post to her chambers. Kagan in the only Justice in American history to have celebrated her Bat Mitzvah. Just a little fact, Frankfurter refused to hire Ginsburg as his clerk because of her gender. Some of the Jewish Justices also were clerks; Kagan clerked for Thurgood Marshall and Stephen Breyer for Arthur Goldberg. Kagan also clerked for Abner Mikva of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The eight Jewish Justices are as follows: Louis D. Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, Felix Frankfurter, Arthur Goldberg, Abe Fortas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer and Elena Kagan.The book is well written and researched. There is lots of information about the Justices. Also, a sad tale of anti-Semitism in this country. Dalin provides a brief biography of each of the eight Jewish Justices. Dalin points out that Felix Frankfurter changed from a liberal before appointment to a conservative after appointment to the Court. The book is easy to read and packed full of information.I read this on my Kindle app for my iPad. The book is 384 pages and was published in April 2017.
