An Even More Nuanced Breakdown of the Supreme Court

I'm reading a lot of the recent Supreme Court decisions, but for now the NY Times shows An Even More Nuanced Breakdown of the Supreme Court "In the accompanying chart, the distance between a pair of justices represents roughly how often they disagreed this term. It’s impossible to get all 36 of the distances exactly right — you’d need more than four dimensions to do that — so we’ve also included curvy lines showing the exact distance between some of the pairs. The justices are placed so all 36 lines are as straight as possible. This includes the lines connecting the liberal and conservative wings, which we haven’t shown."
