number of jews on US Supreme Court triples

[yankeedoodle]

We read in this article that, in 1969, the jews had a fit, demanding that President Richard Nixon honor the:

unspoken "tradition" that at least one American Jew had to sit on the highest court in the land:

"[We object to] the "refusal of the President of the United States to follow the tradition of his eminent predecessors, beginning with the late Woodrow Wilson, of recognizing the vast political and social contributions, particularly with respect to our legal institutions, made by Jewish Americans," the NAACP said.

"To recite the names of Justices Brandeis, Cardozo, Frankfurter, Goldberg and Fortas is to recount major developments and contributions to the legal and political structure of the United States over the past half century," the resolution continued. "Equally able Jewish lawyers, judges and professors are among us."

"It was a sad blow to the aspirations of all Americans for full participation of all of our people in the affairs of Government when the President of the United States failed to appoint a Jewish American as he filled not only one but two vacancies in the last three months."

So, in 1969 - a little more than 50 years ago - the issue was that the jews expected to have one jew on the US Supreme Court.

In this article from 2016, the question is whether the US Supreme Court will have four - FOUR - jews on the US Supreme Court. 

U.S. SUPREME COURT COULD HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF JEWISH JUSTICES AT ONE TIME IN HISTORY.
As of now, the Supreme Court of the United States has three justices who are Jews: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. If President Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland is confirmed, then for the first time in the American history, the United States Supreme Court will have the highest number of Jewish justices at one time, on the bench.

Of course, there is speculation that Sonia Sotomayor is jewish, also, which would mean that there are four jews on the Supreme Court, and if Merrick Garland had become a member of the Court, the jews would have a majority - five - of the seats on the Supreme Court.
