Maybe a real Protestant Christian could be nominated and approved. Five Catholics, three Jews, and one Episcopalian. It seems a bit unbalanced.

Preach it!

I think the best guard against a backslider (obviously there are no guarantees) would be an active member of a solid, evangelical, Bible-believing church.

They had a virtual monopoly on SCOTUS for well over a century. Sorry it upsets you that other religions now get to be on the court for a few decades.

Maybe a rock solid proven conservative could be nominated instead of some sketchy judge who is said to be good because his "philosophy" is supposedly "originalist". Nominating a proven conservative worked well with Alito, strange that we haven't tried it otherwise.

It used to be SCOTUS nominees were picked based on area of the country. Much of that ended w Reagan with 2 nominees from AZ.
