Do US Supreme Court justices preside over courts?
Not exactly. "Preside" means "to be in charge of," and that responsibility falls to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or, in his (or her) absence, the Senior Associate Justice (justice who has served on the court longest). All Supreme Court justices are assigned one or more Circuits over which they have responsibility for emergency orders, per federal law (18 USC § 42): "The Chief Justice of the United States and the associate justices of the Supreme Court shall from time to time be allotted as circuit justices among the circuits by order of the Supreme Court. "The Chief Justice may make such allotments in vacation. A justice may be assigned to more than one circuit, and two or more justices may be assigned to the same circuit." The justices do not preside over the Circuits, however. US District Courts typically seat only one judge per case to preside over the Court; the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts typically provide for appellate review by a three-judge panel, with one of the three presiding over the panel.
What is Anthony M Kennedy's religion?
Justice Kennedy is Roman Catholic. Through a curious quirk of chance, the current Justices of the Supreme Court are five Catholics and three Jews. Justice Antonin Scalia, who passed away on February 13, 2016, was also Roman Catholic. Scalia occasionally spoke that the real requirement for "diversity" on the Supreme Court was to get at least one Protestant, preferably an Evangelical Protestant!
