Overall makeup of United States:

Protestants 51%
Catholics 25%
Jews 1%

How's that for equitable representation in government?

[Yonivore]

Meh, I don't know of any of them that have allowed their particular denominational faith to sway an opinion.

Doesn't bother me.

It's their political ideology that's killer.

[Stringer_Bell]

Are you suggesting we find a solution to equitable representation, a kind of...final solution? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!

[The Reckoning]

wow didn't know there were that many Catholics in the US.

hmm maybe the Catholics have been interpreting the Bible for millenia and Jews have been interpreting contracts for millenia, so it's only fitting they interpret the Constitution...

unless the OP is suggesting that Catholics are the most intelligent.

[Winehole23]

I think it is suggesting that Protestants have been unfairly left out.

[Yonivore]

As have Muslims and Hindus, etc...

is the SCOTUS supposed to be representative of the society, or is it supposed to be an interpreter of the Constitution?

Did you feel this way when there were no women, no Catholics, no Jews?

Are you upset about the proportion of women and hispanics and African Americans in the US Congress, which really IS allegedly representative of the American public?

Are you accusing Reagan and Ford and both Bushes of being prejudiced against Protestants?

You missed a DUN

You missed a reference.

It's anything but surprising that President Obama has chosen Elena Kagan to replace John Paul Stevens on the Supreme Court. Nothing is a better fit for this White House than a blank slate, institution-loyal, seemingly principle-free careerist who spent the last 15 months as the Obama administration's lawyer vigorously defending every one of his assertions of extremely broad executive authority. The Obama administration is filled to the brim with exactly such individuals -- as is reflected by its actions and policies -- and this is just one more to add to the pile. The fact that she'll be replacing someone like John Paul Stevens and likely sitting on the Supreme Court for the next three decades or so makes it much more consequential than most, but it is not a departure from the standard Obama approach.http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/05/10/kagan/index.html

Isn't protestant a bunch of denominations lumped into one group?

How bout we separate it into baptist, Presbyterian, episcopalian, dirty mormons, etc

Also compare that 1% jew to the percentage of Jewish executives on wall street and members of the Federal Reserve.

I bet that blows this comparison out of the water. I doubt the Fed has ever been run by a non-jew in its history

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Also am I the only one who thinks Kagan looks like Kevin James in drag?

You, know, that fat guy with a hot scientologist wife from King of queens?

I'm pretty sure Volcker is a Lutheran.

why does this matter to you?

[BRHornet45]

sons any of them appointed by Obama will be thrown out once the trial is over in a couple weeks anyways.

[Supergirl]

yeah, well there's also no Muslims on the SC, and no identified atheists either.

[Winehole23]

^^^Faintly echoes Yonivore, fields atheists alongside Muslims, Protestants and Hindus in the lack-of-official-representation event in the victimization decathlon..

[Galileo]

I'm not Jewish or Catholic. This nation was founded by Protestants. Meanwhile, the Jews killed Jesus and the Catholics took out Galileo.

It was founded by Whites. You hate the Blacks.

[Jacob1983]

It was founded by British people who spoke English.

I'm not Jewish or Catholic. This nation was founded by Protestants. Meanwhile, the Jews killed Jesus and the Catholics took out Galileo.This sentiment is about 150 years too late. It lost.

[Winehole23]

Fucking know-nothing.

You hate America. You hate Galileo. You hate Jesus.

:hat

I love America. I don't have any personal feelings about real Galileo or you or Jesus.

You are a proven liar who has come very close to being a proven racist.

Catholics! Represent, son!

Papal Authority is in effect, ya'll!

...and interpret, apparently.

[word]

Kagan is a sacrificial first rounder.

[DarkReign]

wow didn't know there were that many Catholics in the US.

Lived in the south your whole life, I presume?

Check the NorthEast census reports, doo. 40% of your country's population resides east of the Mississippi.
