How US Supreme Court Justices rule
An interesting chart from Yahoo:
I found this very interesting. It is no surprise perhaps that Justices have backed emergency requests from the Government of the President whose party appointed them. The range is from 96% (Alito, Gorsuch) down to 78% (Roberts).
What is more interesting is how often they have backed an emergency request from the Government of a President from the other side. In order the percentages are:
- Roberts 59%
- Barrett 53%
- Kavanaugh 47%
- Gorsuch 35%
- Alito 18%
- Thomas 18%
- Kagan 17%
- Sotomayor 9%
- Jackson 0%
I think this reflects well on Roberts, Barrett, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.
