Why Catholics and Jews dominate at the Supreme Court

Two days after he was nominated by President Trump to the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh ladled mac and cheese into takeout trays outside Catholic Charities in Washington, D.C.

That the nominee for the country's highest bench should pop up in photos volunteering for a Catholic aid group is no surprise at this point. When Trump announced his selection, Kavanaugh talked about being "part of the vibrant Catholic community in the D.C. area … united by a commitment to serve." He also gave a nod to schooling: "The motto of my Jesuit high school was 'Men for others.' I've tried to live that creed."

Kavanaugh's inclusion on the court would preserve the Catholic majority, with six justices reared and formed in that tradition. (Neil Gorsuch attends an Episcopal Church but grew up Catholic and attended the same Catholic high school as Kavanaugh.)

The remaining three justices are Jewish.

Because the catholic Church is the single biggest Church in the USA and catholics make at least 25% of the American population.

When it comes about jews, the answer is self speaking.

Never thought about it much. Not surprised at the prior Protestant dominance though.

Protestants are more individualistic or libertarian minded (on some levels). See many Americans bashing "collectivism".
With their divisions between so many churches it allows large groups of educated Catholics or tribal educated Jews to go there and take advantage.

That is indeed the question.

U.S supreme court... yes... us congress.. no

That's nothnig to brag about. And it's because of our growing population of Mexicans/Hispanics. As well as useless Euro ethnicities like Mick-americans, German-americans (mostly descended from Bavarians), Italian-americans.

Ross/Fractal how is everything?
