I've always wondered about the SCOTUS. If they are supposed to render decisions based on their interpretation of the law then why do we get so many decisions that are decided by one vote? Usually all the liberal judges vote as a block as do the conservatives.
Seems like there would be a lot more decisions where they all agree or only one or two disagree if they are simply going by the law.
In addition we now have Democrats saying they shouldn't vote to replace Kennedy during an election year because Republicans would allow Obama to do it in 2016. Kind of a cluster. That being said if this is how it's gonna work then I hope President Trump gets to replace a bunch of them.
