This is a picture of the US Supreme Court Justices, as of the start of 2024.
What do you think of it?
Is there any significance to the five men being in the middle with the four women on the ends? Maybe that's done to balance heights?
It's a nice picture, but unfortunately, most of the people in it ruin the picture.
Yes, there is a significance of the five men being in the middle, and four women on the ends, simply because of the height differences, and I think it's an attempt to separate everyone by sex.

Since this 1894 portrait, the Chief Justice is seated at position 1 and the other 8 members are arranged in order of seniority, with the newest justice at position 9.
I think the person taking the picture arranged where each one will stand to get a symmetric photo. It worked.
Honestly, do people have to pick apart everything anymore? It is what it is. People are overthinking this picture. Trying to make it politically correct. 🙄
I think they're arranged purely for artistic composition. What I don't get is how presidents are allowed to choose them based on their political leanings. Judges should be neutral and impartial because to outsiders like me the whole system looks like a fix.

I think they have most of the minority groups covered 🤔 but I don't see a Native American. Sorry if I'm not politically correct.
Chief Justice in the middle Two most senior members on either side then the two next on the ends of the first row. Four newest in back row with two tallest in the middle.
Coincidence that the women are on the outside.
Always reminds me of this family guy clip 😂
Well they have the most important guy in the middle, as are the conservative judges. The women are obviously being marginalized. It's clearly art imitating life.
It’s clearly full of White men enforcing the patriarchy and White supremacy on poor Black and Brown Queens. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It's just a hierarchy. Stephen Bryer and RBG used to sit on the sides. Now they're gone so Sotomayor and Kagan were moved there.
It's standard practice when photographing a group to have the tallest people in the middle. Anyone who tries to read more into it is just a "victim" looking for a "crime".
I am not happy with them, they’re bowing to partisan politics instead of upholding the law.
What's there to think about? It's the annual SCOTUS picture taken around the start of every October Term.
Still amusing that both of Obama’s picks have feet that barely reach the ground.
It’s definitely a picture.
Not sure
Nothing.
