The Obama administration may appoint Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, creating a court with no Protestant justices. If confirmed, she would join two Jews and six Catholics, signaling changing religious balance and possibly the end of Protestant majority in U S high court history. Experts note overall Protestant share has fallen below fifty percent and mainline churches have shrunk, with evangelical groups also seeing stagnation.
