With one opinion and one grant coming out of the U.S. Supreme Court this week, Bloomberg Law takes a step back to look at how the term has shaped up, and what to expect in the final weeks.
The court’s newest member, Brett Kavanaugh, is making the case as the median justice. He’s the only one to be in the majority in 100% of the argued cases that he’s participated in this term. Chief Justice John Roberts is close behind.
Kavanaugh also has authored three of the court’s six split decisions that were decided by just one vote. Such contentious issues typically get assigned to more senior justices.
All that’s likely to change with the end of the term fast approaching and the court handing down its most consequential decisions. Look for insight on how things might change in this latest episode of “Cases and Controversies” with Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin.
