    Maybe I missed something "BUT" I always thought that there were only Judges on the Supreme Court...Not Senators.

    There are no senators on the US Supreme Court.

    There are nine justices on the US Supreme Court: Chief Justice John Roberts and the 8 Associate Justices, John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and Samuel Alito.

    There are 100 Senators in the US Senate.

    If you're asking how many FORMER senators are on the Supreme Court, none of the current 9 justices was in the Senate. In fact, none of the 9 have ever held federal or state elective office.

    In the whole history of the Court? I don't know for certain how many there have been. But here are the names of some U.S. Senators who were appointed to the Supreme Court:

    Name State Years of service on the Court

    Edward White LA 1894 - 1921

    George Sutherland UT 1922 - 1938

    Hugo Black AL 1937 - 1971

    James Byrnes SC 1941 - 1942

    Harold Burton OH 1945 - 1958

    Sherman Minton IN 1949 - 1957

    I'm sure that there were others in the 19th Century who had been in both the Senate and on the Court, but I can't remember their names.

  • Senators are not in the Supreme Court!!! Its a court! It has justices!!! 9 to be exact!!
