Yeah, but that was based on a table of equals. The SCOTUS is anything but. The rumor is that at one end, is the chair for the CJ, the other end is the most junior member. The most junior member has to fetch refreshments, books, etc., for the other justices. At least, this is based on previous courts. The Roberts court may not be quite as much like a fraternity.
