On this day in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson nominated Louis Brandeis, a pioneering legal reformer, to the U.S. Supreme Court. After a contested confirmation process, Brandeis became the first Jewish justice to serve on the high tribunal.
On June 1, 1916, the Senate confirmed Brandeis by a 47-22 vote. One Democrat, Francis Newlands of Nevada, voted no.
In 1932, Brandeis was joined by a second Jewish justice, Benjamin Cardozo. Negative reaction to the appointment of the early Jewish justices was not confined to outsiders: Justice James Clark McReynolds, another Wilson nominee and his onetime attorney general, refused to speak to Brandeis for three years after Brandeis’ confirmation.
In all, eight Jewish justices have served on the high tribunal, including the three who currently serve: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan.
