Could somebody explain the significance of this?

Could somebody explain the significance of this article and the 'seats' that justices sit in? It has been my thought that justices served together as a 'body' / as one unit, and did not specifically fill one seat or another. For example, if two associate justices retired at the same time, the president would not need (nor even could he) designate which nominee was specifically replacing which retiring justice. Is that not true? Rodchen ( talk) 05:01, 17 May 2011 (UTC) reply

Just to expand this question. I notice [1] specifically DOES NOT communicate the idea of 'seats' on the Supreme Court. The only 'seat' that there is the Chief Justice seat. The Associate Justices, so to speak, do not each have a seat but share a bench that they all sit at. The only other sense that there are seats are in terms of 'seniority'.

Please provide references to the existance of 'seats' on the Supreme Court. Rodchen ( talk) 08:58, 17 May 2011 (UTC) reply

I have redirected this list article to List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States as that article's primary table has a column showing justices to justice succession as well as a graphical timeline depicting the progression of the justices (justices to justice succession).

There is a much cleaner and easier-to-read timeline at List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States: See the section " Timeline of justices". It would probably be more appropriate here than in that article; that article is not "by seat" as this one is, and the timeline is specifically designed to show seat. Alternatively, if the desire is to have it in both articles, it could be made into a template and transcluded. TJRC ( talk) 22:12, 14 July 2021 (UTC) reply
This page might be a more appropriate place for the graphical TL. At one time it had a separate page, but was redirected to the list article page, so moving it would need a consensus to do so. (Regarding your last point, I see no reason for it to be on both pages.) Drdpw ( talk) 02:26, 15 July 2021 (UTC) reply
I have some general issues with the above graphical TL template, which I've gone into on the List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States talk page. Regarding this page specifically, most of the information provided in that TL goes beyond the scope of this page, and that which is pertinent simply restates in rows the names of justices, which the succession/"seat" columns do already, and do in a more practical, informative, and legible fashion. Drdpw ( talk) 02:26, 15 July 2021 (UTC) reply
I think that a graph would be a good addition to the article, but only if it's legible. It will be very difficult to make names of justices legible when creating a graph for a period of over 230 years, so maybe it could be broken up into different graphs by era (say, 1789 to 1869, 1869 to 1953, and 1953 to present).

I'm not a fan of breaking TL's up by random years or nebulous eras. List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States by court composition separates justices and graphs by the tenure of each chief justice, which is a firm and logical start/end. This article is about succession/"seats", so that would be the most logical way to divide up the justices, which is what the column tables do currently. The justices in the graphical TL at List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States#Timeline of justices are divided into three nearly equal columns, somewhat random and nebulous, but looks logical. It does have the width problem associated with having one graph to cover 232 years and 115 justices. Drdpw ( talk) 18:42, 15 July 2021 (UTC) reply
Why cannot this timeline work on this page? I just want to know. Thank You!

Traditions of each Seat?

In the Senatorial courtesy article it is mentioned that one seat was held by New York justices since the Jefferson administration. There also used to be a longstanding tradition of a " jewish seat" in the court. I assume other seats may have similar traditions. This seems like the best place to include that kind of trivia. jonas ( talk) 12:57, 25 December 2021 (UTC) reply
