The SC no longer act as an interpret of Constitutional Principle, they now vote according to their political/ideological inclinations. Said inclinations being defined and determined according to the supposed popular will of segments of the population. Obamacare was a perfect example of that, as was their “No Standing “ bs to ignore the massive fraud in the ‘20 elections. Trump’s Team should start a massive public ‘education’ campaign to indirectly pressure RINOs like Barret to fulfill their Oath as opposed to serving their feelings. I note that Sen. Cassidy seems to be sobering up, albeit he is up for election.

I would be more curious to know how often she votes the same as Roberts. It seems like she regularly votes the same as Roberts like she is his shadow. Maybe I am just imagining that.
The USSC rules together much more often than people understand. This is because the rulings that make the papers/echo chambers are the contested ones with partisan/ideological splits. These are a very, very small % of cases in the USSC docket.
Federalist Society: The Numbers Reveal a United Supreme Court, and a Few Surprises
quote:
The 2022 term comprised 58 total decisions—59 if you consider the fact that the Harvard and University of North Carolina affirmative action cases were consolidated—which is the lowest total in years. This continues a recent trend of the Court taking fewer cases than in years past. It is unclear what, if anything, should be interpreted from that phenomenon. But things get more interesting once we delve deeper into how the Court decided those cases.
The far left insists the Court is sharply divided along political lines. If that is true, we should expect to see those fissures represented in the Court’s decisions. Yet we find the opposite. This term, 48% of the Court’s decisions were unanimous. That is a significant increase from the 29% of decisions that were unanimous during the 2021 term.
One possible counter to that statistic is that unanimous decisions often indicate a less controversial legal issue. So maybe the Court is truly partisan when it comes to more controversial cases. While that is a reasonable assumption, it is unsupported by the data.
quote:
Justice Kavanaugh voted with Chief Justice Roberts 95% of the time, comprising the strongest pairing in the 2022 term. This has been a consistent trend ever since Justice Kavanaugh’s appointment and should shock no one. But Justice Kavanaugh has also demonstrated a willingness to break company with his conservative colleagues. He is just as likely to vote with Justices Kagan and Jackson (80% of the time) as he is with Justice Alito. And the far left’s favorite target of baseless attacks, Justice Thomas, was the colleague Justice Kavanaugh voted with least often.
For his part, Chief Justice Roberts voted with his colleague to the left, Justice Kagan (82%), more frequently than with his colleagues to the right, Justices Alito (78%), Gorsuch (76%), and Thomas (75%).
What should we make of all this? For starters, although statistics are certainly a useful measure, they do not tell the whole story. But they do tell a story. By the numbers, the Supreme Court is decidedly non-partisan and could even be described as unified on a great number of issues. And even when the Court is divided, the American people approve of its decisions. That is as important as any statistical measure.
Politico: Opinion | Using Math to Analyze the Supreme Court Reveals an Intriguing Pattern
quote:
If you only get your Supreme Court news from political pundits, you might have gotten the wrong idea about a case decided last year on whether to let Florida ban drag shows. The vote on the high court was 6-3, and you would probably have assumed the court’s six Republican appointees voted on one side and the court’s three liberals on the other.
But that’s not what happened. In the Florida case, three conservative justices — John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — voted with liberal Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson to hold that the law could not be enforced while a related lawsuit was pending.
This 6-3 alignment isn’t new and isn’t rare, as one of us has written before. But our new mathematical analysis of the court’s decisions from the 2022-2023 session shows just how much it makes sense to think of this Supreme Court as a 3-3-3 court — one whose divides are driven not just by ideology, but a range of other legal considerations as well. As the court nears the end of its 2023-2024 term, with a raft of contentious decisions about to land, this will be helpful to keep in mind.
JB keeps bringing up how ACB "votes with the liberals 70% of the time".
Well Alito and Thomas vote with Jackson 64% of the time in non-unanimous decisions

Exhibit A on why Justices shouldn't serve for life. One really long term, sure, but life? No

She just wants to act like she's smarter than the other justices (and everyone else in the world), by thinking,"All these justices vote either liberal or conservative on everything. The people are going to think I'm so smart and the only one who reads the law and thinks about a decision, if I vote liberal sometimes and conservative some time".

Is the money still going to "WORK" [hint: that's the key word] NGO's ran by Democrats will be paid for?
Thomas and Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Alito didn't have a problem telling them to get fricked.
ACB was a mistake

You have evidence that she does that?

Yeah. I'm as anti USAID as anyone but I'm fine with paying for shite that was already done. I may not like it, but if people already did work we committed to pay for then we have to pay for it.

No one in this thread has addressed or disputed ACB constantly voting with Democrats. The reason Amy Coney Barrett CONTINUOUSLY votes with Democrats is because she was hand picked by this guy

You are wrong, sir. According to Eric, it’s all McConnell’s fault. He conned President Trump in a way that could not be countered.

i know right.
What it does as well is open the door for auditing and prosecution if any fraudulent activities were conducted and paid for. Those 90,000 IRS workers, if they are in fact forensic accountants, should be put to use doing deep audits of work that was billed and use of funds.
everyone wants people to go to jail, this is the way

McConnell fault.
For the umpteenth time, Trump trusted people in his first term, naively believing that they wanted the best for America....not that they want to fvck him and fvck America.

Is OP really bitching like a Karen because the Supreme Court ruled that the US government should honor the contracts that they signed and pay for services already rendered?
