Louis Brandeis

Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939. Became a prominent figure in the Zionist movement, seeing it as a solution to antisemitism in Europe and reviving the Jewish spirit.

Brandeis was a militant crusader for social justice whoever his opponent might be... He was dangerous because he was incorruptible .. [and] the fears of the Establishment were greater because Brandeis was the first Jew to be named to the Court.
