And for the first time in the history of the nation, there is not a Protestant on the Supreme Court. Not one.

Wow, I was beginning to think no one else was connecting the dots. Very astute observation

As much to point, I believe this is the first time in our history where every member of the SCOTUS went to law school at either Harvard or Yale. (Ginsburg graduated from Columbia Law after two years at Harvard Law.)

Imagine that: of all the law schools in the country, only the two most elitist Ivy League schools have been deemed capable of producing "la creme de la creme"!!!

There was a time when geographical diversity was a consideration in SCOTUS appointments. No more, apparently.

Would anybody care to guess who was the last (perhaps I should say the most recent) Protestant Supreme Court nominee?
