Benjamin Cardozo, a native New Yorker, had a heart attack in late 1937, and was invited to stay at the Port Chester home of his friend, Judge Irving Lehman, while he recovered. Cardozo and Lehman had served together on the New York Court of Appeals years earlier, and remained close throughout their careers.
In early 1938, while still recovering from his MI, Cardozo suffered a stroke. He became weaker and more debilitated from that point, and died on July 9, 1938, at the age of 68.
Along with Louis Brandeis, whom Cardozo admired and served with for years, Benjamin Cardozo is considered by many to be one of the greatest legal philosophers in the history of the US Supreme Court.
Well, before anyone can answer that, we need to know "How are you defining 'minorities'?" Women ? (who technically aren't a minority) Blacks? Hispanics? But how about "Jewish"? They're a minority. As are Catholics. And "Italian-American". For that matter, I'm pretty sure every one of them has had a post-graduate degree, which puts all of them in a minority group. What he/she said^^ is a very good point. If your talking about African-Americans there have been two, but without clearer information I cannot answer your question fully.
The Chief Justice presides over the US Supreme Court. At present, the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court is John G. Roberts, Jr.
We currently do, yes (assuming you are referring to the United States Supreme Court). Her name is Sonia Sotomayor, and she was nominated by President Barack Obama; she has served on the Court since August 2009. She had previously served as a judge and lawyer in several other positions, and was best known for filing an injunction that ended the 1995 Major League Baseball Strike -- earning her praise from some for having "saved baseball."Whether she is the first Hispanic justice actually sparked a brief discussion around the time of her nomination. A prior justice, Benjamin Cardozo, had been born to a family of Sephardic Jews originally from Portugal. The consensus, soon agreed upon, was that the term "Hispanic" must refer to someone whose heritage is in either Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America. Under that definition, Brazilians would not be Hispanic, and neither would Cardozo. Thus, Sotomayor is the first.
