Catholics and Jews are far overrepresented on the Supreme Court compared to the number of Catholics and Jews in the USA. What significance does this have, if any? This thought was inspired by O'Connor's comment that perhaps there should be more Protestant presence on the Court.

Neither do Jews and Catholics.
I'd love to see atheists up there, you should know that by now. We're just a persecuted minority without enough political clout to make it happen.
Woe is us 😞
