When the Eight-Member Supreme Court Avoids Deadlocks, It Leans Left

The New York Times writes When the Eight-Member Supreme Court Avoids Deadlocks, It Leans Left "The court issued liberal decisions in 56 percent of cases so far this term, according to a widely accepted standard developed by political scientists that considers signed decisions in argued cases. The share is only slightly lower than in the 2014-15 term, which had the highest share of liberal decisions since the court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren in the 1950s and 1960s."
