How difficult is it for Congress or the Supreme Court (or a president) to revoke an executive order? From what I've read online, only two executive orders have ever been revoked.

Since only two have ever been overturned, it would appear to be very difficult.

What two were overturned??

Truman's attempt to nationalize the steel industry in the 1950s and a 1995 order issued by President Clinton that attempted to prevent the federal government from contracting with organizations that had strike-breakers on the payroll (according to Wikipedia).

Seeing the high number of Executive Orders President Clinton issued, and having worked there during his first term, I have to wonder how many of those orders were issued to Ledos of Georgetown or Manny & Olga's.

As has already been pointed out, three of the sitting Supreme Court judges are Jewish; the others are, indeed, Catholic. The historic aspect of the current court is that, for the first time in history, none of the sitting judges is Protestant.
