oliver wendell holmes, and the was brandeis. -- and louis brandeis. in 1890, when the harvard law review began had a classmate and law partner who wrote an article about privacy that basically introduced a new the rightso law -- to privacy. is widely brandeis recognized as the greatest of the jewish justices, serving 23 years. ruth bader ginsburg recently surpassed him and is in her 24 th year. brandeis is considered one of the top five justices in all of american history. could do this briefly, we could get through all eight. i want to ask you about them on a personal basis. not legal. who was louis brandeis? he grew up in louisville, kentucky and his parents were german-speaking immigrants from oprague. in everyprodigy, it sense of the word. he graduated harvard law at the age of 20 and was too young to be certified by the massachusetts bar. they had to give a dispensation because he was not old enough to practice. they say that he had the highest scholastic average of any harvard law student before or since. apocryphals may be and they say that abo

who was louis brandeis?avid: he grew up in louisville, kentucky and his parents were german-speaking immigrants from prague. he was a prodigy, it in every sense of the word. he graduated harvard law at the age of 20 and was too young to be certified by the massachusetts bar. they had to give a dispensation because he was not old enough to practice. they say that he had the highest scholastic average of any harvard law student before or since. some of this may be apocryphal and they say that about fortis at yale. in brandeis' case, he graduated at a young age and build a practice with a fellow student and law partner and live the rest of his life in boston. although much of his family -- i can come back to his jewish identity -- he made a fortune. his goal was to make enough money so that he could devote himself to pro bono work. that was his invention, so to speak, the idea that you would work for worthy causes and cases. he was a millionaire before he was 35. in those days, it would be worth much more. he w

we're seeing the beginning of something extraordinarily important. >> you quoted louis brandeis.e quote tip o'neill who once said that all politics is local. that might be the answer to the question i want to ask now. i still want to ask it to get your take. why is it when we see things like a fight for 15, it catches fire at the local level but we can't seem to get any traction on that at the federal level. >> first of all, at the federal level right now, we have all -- basically -- certainly two elected branches of government under the republicans and that means even more under the thumb of big business and wall street. and it looks like a majority of the supreme court, i hate to say this, but they are republican appointees, the majority. but that's not always been the case. occasionally we do get these grou groundswells of progressivism, usually in the democratic party, but not always, teddy roosevelt was a progressive. it's possible to get a $15 minimum wage across the board. when i was in government, tavis, the minimum wage, people told me there was no way of getting a minim

someone who is a great-grandson of a national field director of zoa, many decades ago when that brandeis guy was in charge, it is an honor to be here to recognize someone who believes in all of the causes that bring you here. recently, abbas visited washington. arthur schwartz, who is here, called up his friend, steve bannon, and asked what it was like, assuming steve was at the white house that day. and steve said -- i am not at the white house. i refuse to be there. i will not breathe the same air as that terrorist. [applause] [cheering] >> he said -- i would not be able to look you in the eye after breaking bread with someone with jewish blood on their hands and that is why steve bannon was not at the white house that day. [applause] so, when you learn that students for justice for palestine pick a president who is jewish or if you hear the commencement speaker at suny, or the student at berkeley who put a map on the wall -- where you are trying to pull out a fatally flawed deal, and you are disturbed about a un security council deal that seeks to ethnically clean jerusalem. or you wa

to teach about supreme court decisions like justice brandeis defending that speech can only be protected -- prevented if it promotes imminent violence. you cannot understand these principles unless you understand fact, history, case law,. the final challenge is to make them accessible. the interactive constitution is a marvel. it has been used by supreme court justices and law clerks, but it is very wonky. the bottom line is, if you have a product that all sides can converge around that is completely nonpartisan and multi-partisan, there is a hunger in this country to be elevated above these partisan battles and to converge around the one thing that unites us, the u.s. constitution. james, can you talk about what you view as the role of the nonprofit community in all this. jane --jean, can you talk about what you view as the role of the nonprofit community in all this. a couple of other elements at play, and i must say, the citizen engagement in devising this strategic plan for their own city ultimately is what is going to make a difference. then, the parties came around to enable that.
