************************

So! After 35 signed rulings, 32 count for our purposes; two were previously excluded due to recusals and, of the above, Hartman v. Moore is also excluded due to a Roberts recusal. Besides that, the deviations are as follows:

In Georgia v. Randolph, Roberts filed a dissenting opinion that was joined by Scalia. Thomas filed a separate dissenting opinion that no one joined.

In Day v. McDonough, Roberts joined the majority ruling by Ginsburg (!) while Scalia filed a dissenting opinion that was joined by Thomas.

In Jones v. Flowers, Roberts issued the majority ruling while Thomas filed a dissenting opinion that was joined by Scalia.

So, drumroll please!

Roberts/Scalia: 90.625% (agree in 29 of 32)
Roberts/Thomas: 78.125% (agree in 25 of 32)

After 35 signed rulings in 32 of which all three participated.

And, once again, just for the sake of curiosity:

Roberts/Kennedy: 84.375%
Roberts/Souter: 84.375%

Next installment to post soon after 40 applicable signed rulings!
