SCOCAblog reviews the Supreme Court’s 2021. The analysis reports only 54 opinions for the year, “the lowest yearly total in the past decade,” and a 2015 to 2021 “average unanimity rate [of] 89.74% . . . [with] no consistent blocs in the rare 4–3 splits.”
The blog summarizes: “From one perspective the court is in harmony, with only incremental changes on the horizon. We still see no evidence on the current court of the partisan behavior that characterized voting patterns in its past, consensus continues to dominate, and there is no evidence of a Brown versus senior justices split. Yet from another perspective the court is primed for change.”
