The High Court is not so Divisive

Written By Marcus Henry

In 2023, the US Supreme Court heard 47 cases using the full Court (62 in total, but we are sticking with en banc for the purposes of this discussion).

The rulings had these counts:
9-0 : 15 decisions
8-1 : 1 decision
7-2 : 2 decisions
6-3 : 21 decisions
5-4 : 8 decisions

Of the 6-3 decisions only 11 were along partisan lines (and by reading the text, not along strict ideological lines). Whoever is telling people the Court is broken and everyone on it is a partisan hack is gaslighting the public. The data do not support any such claim. The High Court ruling along partisan lines is in the strong minority. Can we stop with the divisive nonsense?
