Neil Gorsuch Touts Unanimous Agreement on Supreme Court: ‘Little Changes’

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said the court’s justices unanimously agree on about 40 percent of cases, and “very little changes” when looking at the court’s history, in an interview with National Review released Monday. The Supreme Court currently has a 6-3 majority of conservative justices. Despite the ideological split, the justices reached a unanimous ruling in 42 percent of cases in the 2024 term, according to the statistics by SCOTUSblog. However, that number is down from 44 percent in the previous term and 50 percent in the 2022 term. “You’re thinking, well, what about those 5–4s, and 6–3s? OK, fine. That’s about a third of our docket, alright?” Gorsuch said. “But only about half of that third are the 5–4s and 6–3s you might imagine, and the rest of them are scrambled every which way. Alright, now those two figures, that 40 percent and that third, same as they were more or less in 1945 when Franklin Roosevelt had appointed eight of the nine justices of the Supreme Court. So, the one thing I know about the Supreme Court is very little changes.” ...Trust in the Supreme Court remains near historic lows, according to polling. A poll by NBC
