in SCOTUS& #39;s 2019 term:

-RBG agreed w/ the conservative majority 73.9% of the time
-Sotomayor 73.9%
-Breyer 78.3%
-Kagan 82.6%

most decisions are 9-0. the ones that aren& #39;t should fall under the political question doctrine anyway

your "but SCOTUS?!" argument might be hyperbolic
*the political question doctrine says the court should not adjudicate questions that are political, not legal, in nature. flawed as that is (it wasn& #39;t applied to bush v. gore ffs) most 5-4 decisions are on blatantly political issues that might deserve more public oversight anyway
i& #39;m not saying it isn& #39;t a good reason to vote a certain way. i& #39;m saying it& #39;s hyperbolic. on questions that affect the working class--pension collection, land use for urban development, workplace rights--SCOTUS is usually unanimously neoliberal. being aware of that is a good thing
