I wouldn't pretend to guess who arranged the seats on this Court much less know if it matters since theyre almost certain to move away from live audiences completely soon enough.
Remember the "The Star Chamber?"

@Diotrephes The real problem is how many conservatives there are on the court.

Do you really expect anything different in the Catholic-Jewish club?

@Diotrephes Yes. Sonia Sotomayor is a liberal Catholic, and there have been conservative Jews on the court in the past. And the court currently has a liberal Protestant (Jackson) and a conservative Protestant (Gorsuch). And Elena Kagan is the sole Jew on the court, so it's hardly a "Catholic-Jewish club" unless even one Jew is too much for you. The most you can say is that the court's proportions aren't representative of the country as a whole, but we are divided ideologically far more than by religion.
Just because you hate Jews and Catholics doesn't mean that's the root of the court's problems. The real problem is that a majority of justices were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote, and confirmed by a Senate majority that represented a minority of Americans. Also, one man, Leonard Leo, the head of the ultra-conservative Federalist Society, is directly responsible for suggesting Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett to Trump, since Trump wouldn't know a judge from a hole in the ground.

How is it irrelevant? They’re about to cement permanent Republican rule.

Of course. Keep her away from the judges who are actively undermining our freedom.
