In 2015 the Supreme Court was 7 Catholics and 2 Jews. 0 Protestants. It’s insane that it worked out like that. Some of it can be explained by demographics I guess, Justices tend to come from the northeast where there are more Catholics and Jews. Even then you’ve still got Clarence Thomas. What proportion of black people from rural Georgia are Catholic, 0.5%?
It hardly matters, but it is quite odd.
6 Catholics and 3 Jews, surely? Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan vs. the entire right of the Court at the time plus Sotomayor.
