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)
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)

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).

Here is a timeline I would like to add to this article:

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)
