Adam Feldman has written up a year-end statistical analysis of all the court’s cases on Empirical SCOTUS. He finds that what’s emerged is a “structural majority” where the six Republicans consistently outvote the three liberals on critical partisan issues, even though this year the liberals happened to win more than usual. There’s no more “swing” vote on the bench. I didn’t need to pull out my calculator to tell you that, but if you like numbers, Adam’s can be compelling.
