The backgrounds of the present members of the United States Supreme Court not only reveal a lack of diversity in legal education; the Court lacks religious diversity as well.  The Court is presently an exclusive Catholic and Jewish club.  Georgetown law professor Jeffrey Rosen has observed:  “[I]t’s a fascinating truth that we’ve allowed religion to drop out of consideration on the Supreme Court, and right now, we have a Supreme Court that religiously at least, by no means looks like America.”  Rosen, Jeffrey. The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America. Times Books, 2007.  I agree with Professor Rosen that the present Court does not represent a cross-section of America, but I disagree with the observation that religion has dropped out of consideration with regard to the selection process for Court appointments.  In fact, insistence on adherence to religious dogma has replaced any interest in religious diversity on the Court.  The focus of the two major political parties in the United States when the time comes to select a new Supreme Court justice narrows to an absurdly myopic one:  abortion and Roe v. Wade.  For this reason, Republican presidents nominate Catholics; Democrat presidents nominate Jews.  A few decades of this obsession have eliminated persons from any religious tradition other than Catholicism or Judaism from consideration for appointment to the Court.
