Ages of Supreme Court Justices

"What are the current ages of Supreme Court justices?"

Below are the political leanings and ages of the U.S. Supreme Court justices. The difference in their ages currently spans 24 years, from Justice Amy Barrett, who at 50 years of age is the youngest, to Justice Clarence Thomas, who at 74 is the oldest:

Justice	Born	Nominated By	In	Leans	Age
Clarence Thomas	1948	George H.W. Bush	1991	Conservative	74
Samuel Alito	1950	George W. Bush	2006	Conservative	72
Sonia Sotomayer	1954	Barack Obama	2009	Liberal	68
John Roberts	1955	George W. Bush	2005	Swing	67
Elena Kagan	1960	Barack Obama	2010	Liberal	62
Brett Kavanaugh	1965	Donald Trump	2018	Conservative	57
Neil Gorsuch	1967	Donald Trump	2017	Swing	55
Ketanji Jackson	1970	Joe Biden	2022	Liberal	52
Amy Barrett	1972	Donald Trump	2020	Conservative	50

Aren't Justices Roberts and Gorsuch conservatives?

They were supposed to be conservatives but in 2020 were part of the 6-3 liberal majority that ruled churches and other Christian organizations cannot "discriminate" against homosexual job applicants in Bostock v. Clayton County. Justice Gorsuch in fact wrote the majority opinion for the liberals.

How can they flip like that?

Republican presidents have a dreadful record of nominating "conservatives" who turn liberal after becoming Supreme Court justices. Nixon picked Harry Blackmun, who wrote the majority opinion for Roe v. Wade. Reagan picked Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion for Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized homosexual "marriage," as well as for Romer v. Evans and Lawrence v. Texas, both of which sided with homosexuals. Sandra Day O’Connor and David Souter, nominated by Reagan and George H.W. Bush, respectively, wrote the majority opinion, along with Anthony Kennedy, for Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which upheld Roe v. Wade for 30 years from 1992 until it was finally overturned in 2022.

While liberals claim the U.S. Supreme Court now has a staunch 6-3 conservative majority, its decisions indicate a precarious 3-2-3 Conservative-Swing-Liberal split, presuming Justice Barrett proves herself a true conservative. But if Justices Roberts and Gorsuch continue to drift to the left, the Supreme Court could end up with a 4-5 liberal majority.
