First of all, SCOTUS is nonpartisan, there is nomajority or minority.

Second, there is no conservative majority. And Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are to the left of Roberts. On big decisions he usually strays, but smaller decisions he's more likely to be conservative. Barrett is too early to tell.

Thomas and Alito are a block of two.

>> SCOTUS is non-partisan
>> Kavanaugh and Gorsuch are to the left of Roberts

How do you reconcile those two factors?

Effectively, SCOTUS is highly partisan — arguably justification for the odd number of 9.

Regardless, agree with your breakdown of the justices.
