To get back on topic, this is exactly what I was saying...

5-4 votes nudge Supreme Court to the right - CNN.com

The numbers tell the story: Of the 72 cases decided since October, fully a third were decided by 5-4 votes. Compare that with the previous session, when only 15 percent of the cases in the previous term were decided by one-vote margins. And, while 45 percent of the cases in the previous term were unanimous, only a quarter were so easily resolved this term.

Maybe this is a very closely divided SC, instead of one being lopsided.

Billy is here to just antagonize people... he lacks any substance whatsoever.

Agreed. It makes sense that he should be ignored, as all trolls are delt with.

I still try and just work with facts instead of opinions. The Supreme Court is 7 Republicans and 2 Democrats. Now let's look at gender. 1 woman. I would not say this shows balance.

The problem with people like you and many other people is they represent opinion as facts. Either you do not know the difference or you are very dishonest.
