	The Supreme Court Historical Society
		Felix Frankfurter urged a rigorous form of judicial self-restraint, deference to the judgments of legislative bodies, and reliance on the traditions of the American people as the criterion for evaluating the constitutionality of legislative policy choice.
		Frankfurter’s move was a specimen of long-sanctioned lawyers’ reasoning, and had been at the core of common law pleading: a large and complex whole of law and fact was reduced by a series of logical cascades or logic gates to a single question of law, defined as narrowly and specifically as possible.
		A critic might say that Frankfurter’s suppression of his personal feelings was a disingenuous way for him to salve his conscience and yet retain the power to impose his own subjective policy preferences, basking in his own denial.

		If Felix Frankfurter turns out ultimately to have failed of greatness, it will be probably because he respected power in others and tried to refuse it for the Court on which he sat.

		...Frankfurter, it must be said, has never seemed a particularly puzzling figure, yet to Hirsch, as the title of this book indicates, he presents a problem: how did this militant liberal, committed to the defense of civil liberties before his appointment to the Supreme Court, turn into a judicial conservative after his appointment...
		...According to Hirsch, Frankfurter responded to this challenge from the libertarians by operating within the same pattern of psychological necessity that had determined the course of his political career: he adopted the ideology of judicial restraint and clung to it tenaciously throughout his period on the Court...
		...He does not even entertain the possibility that Frankfurter might have been right, for example, when he accused his libertarian colleagues of deciding cases on political grounds, or claimed that they did not really believe their own professions of judicial philosophy but were concerned to appear liberal in the forum of public opinion...

		Nearly 400 previously unpublished letters capture the essence of an extraordinary and in some ways unlikely friendship between one of America's preeminent jurists and a younger, reform-minded colleague who would himself one day ascend to the Supreme Court.
		Oliver Wendell Holmes was 71 when introduced to fiery, effervescent Felix Frankfurter, who'd come to Washington at age 30 to serve President Taft.
		The two couldn't have had more different backgrounds: Holmes a Civil War hero of Boston Brahmin stock, and Frankfurter a Jewish immigrant whose reformist views would lead him to help found the American Civil Liberties Union and act as key advisor to Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal.

		WASHINGTON — More than a half-century ago, Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter warned the judiciary against entering the "political thicket" of legislative districting.
		But the Supreme Court of the 1960s plowed right in, asserting a role in the allocation of voters among districts, setting the standard of "one person, one vote," and altering political power nationwide.
		"Fortunately," Justice John Paul Stevens said last week, Frankfurter's admonition "did not carry the day." But as Stevens delivered a fervent dissent from the bench in the latest voting case, he suggested the court was returning to Frankfurter's way of thinking.
