Someone on the Newshour said that some people think of Benjamin Cardozo as the first Hispanic SC judge, although he was Portuguese and Jewish, so perhaps he doesn't "count." Whatever. I looked him up, and was then led to Louis Brandeis (the first Jewish SC justice), and found them both fascinating: en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org I didn't realize that it was Brandeis and his law partner Samuel Warren who articulated the legal "right to privacy" in 1890. That the individual shall have full protection in person and in property is a principle as old as the common law; but it has been found necessary from time to time to define anew the exact nature and extent of such protection. Political, social, and economic changes entail the recognition of new rights, and the common law, in its eternal youth, grows to meet the demands of society.
