Louis D. Brandeis ::American Prophet /
No full textA riveting new examination of the leading progressive justice of his era, published in the centennial year of his confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court According to Jeffrey Rosen, Louis D. Brandeis was "the Jewish Jefferson," the greatest critic of what he called "the curse of bigness," in business and government, since the author of the Declaration of Independence. Published to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of his Supreme Court confirmation on June 1, 1916, Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet argues that Brandeis was the most farseeing constitutional philosopher of the twentieth century. In addition to writing the most famous article on the right to privacy, he also wrote the most important Supreme Court opinions about free speech, freedom from government surveillance, and freedom of thought and opinion. And as the leader of the American Zionist movement, he convinced Woodrow Wilson and the British government to recognize a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Combining narrative biography with a passionate argument for why Brandeis matters today, Rosen explores what Brandeis, the Jeffersonian prophet, can teach us about historic and contemporary questions involving the Constitution, monopoly, corporate and federal power, technology, privacy, free speech, and Zionism

The Making of the Modern Supreme Court: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Louis D. Brandeis
No full textOliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Louis D. Brandeis made the modern Supreme Court. These two brilliant and seminal justices, known in their day for their restraint, nonetheless gave the weapons and the impulse to justices who would not share their judicial temperaments. Perhaps each of them would have been chagrinned to the extent to which judges today ignore the traditional constraints of their jurisdiction, impose social values directly on the people, and increase the power of the central government over the states
