...last member of the Court, who should be the least significant in point of seniority, is far from it. In 1913 in Manhattan and The Bronx, the Fusion candidate for the Supreme Court of New York was an able young lawyer named Benjamin Nathan Cardozo.

But it is not their consecration to be philosophers, and perhaps that is why, with the exception of Holmes, Brandeis, and Cardozo, the Court is fifty years behindhand in its political philosophy.
