...Washington. Since 1841, when the practice ended, 23 of 68 Justices have come from only three states-New York, Ohio, Massachusetts.* Nominating rival-party members is supposedly out; yet that heresy has been committed twelve times-mostly by Republican Presidents, though perhaps most dramatically in 1916 when Democrat Woodrow Wilson named Louis Brandeis, the court's first Jew, who despite a decidedly Wilsonian record of liberalism was a registered Republican.
