Two words...straw man.
What a bunch of identity politics garbage.
The law is the law.
My interests and view of the law is promoted and defended far more by a CONSERVATIVE ORIGANALIST view, than by someone who shares my religious beliefs or racial descent.
In other words, I don't care how many Catholics or Jewish people there are on the SCOTUS, I care how many think the Constitution is a “living” document that means whatever they want it to mean on any given day.
The legal interests of Protestants are NOT only defended by Protestants on the SCOTUS. The legal interests of Catholics are NOT only defended by Catholics on the SCOTUS. The legal interests of Hispanics are NOT only defended by Hispanics on the SCOTUS. Etc, etc.
The legal interests of ALL Americans and ALL religious denomination are defended by an ORIGINALIST on the SCOTUS.
