Sorry for thinking that maybe one of them came from Stanford Law. I suppose I was thinking back to Rehnquist and O'Connor.

Still, it's really unfathomable that all of them come from 2+ Ivy League law schools. What elitism!!!

There was a time in American history when it was considered politically wise for a president to go for, among other factors, geographic balance with appointments to the SCOTUS. Apparently those days are long gone.

What do you mean there’s no geographic balance in the U.S. Supreme Court? Why, 4 of New York City’s 5 boroughs are represented—you can’t get more geographically diverse than that. /s//

The most amazing thing is that there are no Protestants on the Court (there are 6 Catholics and 3 Jews).
