WASHINGTON—Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire at the end of the current Supreme Court term, giving President Biden an opportunity to shore up the court’s liberal wing and deliver on his promise to nominate the court’s first Black woman.
P.S.
This afternoon I heard that Justice Stephen Breyer was retiring from the U.S. Supreme Court; What first came to my mind was that he is one of two Jewish Justices on the court, the other one is Elena Kagan. The other 7 judges are Roman Catholic.

In the past I've heard many comments about SCOTUS Justices being Liberal, and still others Conservative... And yet, the obvious overrepresentation of Roman Catholics on the Supreme Court is completely ignored.
My question is will the next Associate Justice be an African-American female Catholic?
Arsenio.

BTW:
There aren't any Protestants on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hard to believe that the City on the Hill, the land the Pilgrims longed for, today does not have a single Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, not even an Evangelical on the nation's highest court.
Is it any wonder that the nation no longer looks like the Constitutional Republic that the founders established? Instead, it's beginning to look like a Banana Republic, while the crowds call for Democracy and Socialism. Despite the daily violations of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
