“That’ll make the court seven Catholics and two Jewish people. Enough Catholics for a while.”

Interesting that the Johnny-come-latelys to America monopolize the highest court in America - 100%. The rest of us have been pushed aside, I guess.

For its first 180 years, justices were almost always white male Protestants.

Prior to the 20th century, a few Roman Catholics were appointed, but concerns about diversity of the Court were mainly in terms of geographic diversity, to represent all geographic regions of the country, as opposed to ethnic, religious, or gender diversity.

But. Talk about Original Americans vs. immigrant Johnny-come-latelies. There's no Indians... oops, Native Americans on the Court, either, and never have been, not one.
