Was the Brandeis among the Frankists who (apparently) converted to Catholicism?

Jesus Christ, what an obvious and plane insinuation of antisemitic conspiracy theory. What are you going to cite next, Protocols of the Elders of Zion? I'm sorry that he was so based that modern reactionaries, with their typical "poisoned root" approach, view him as the sinister font of all that is evil and wrong in the world. Of course the "poisoned roots" of reactionary thought, who existed at the time and who opposed him, would later, in their infinite wisdom, form the America First committee and run interference for Hitler. Clearly they are very good at spotting the actual enemies of the republic. Apologies for the "historicizing", we humans sometimes abandon our duty to forget.

IMHO this article should be among the Wikipedia good articles. Debresser (talk) 17:53, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first name of Brandeis is often mispronounced. Scott Campbell, Archivist of the Brandeis and Harlan papers at the University of Louisville Law Library, refers to an article by Todd C. Peppers, A Justice by Any Other Name: the Case of Louis D. Brandeis, Volume 19, 2nd issue of The Supreme Court Historical Society Quarterly mentioning a conversation with Brandeis’s grandson Frank Gilbert. The latter is quoted as having said “It was pronounced ‘Lou-ee’ not ‘Lou-is’.” Perhaps the article should include a reference to https://brandeiswatch.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/how-to-pronounce-louis-brandeis/ as https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%90%D7%99_%D7%91%D7%A8%D7%A0%D7%93%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A1 does.
