United States Justice Supreme Court. History: In Recent Years Justice O'Connors Has Sat With Several Courts of Appeals Around the Country and Justice Souter Has Frequently Sat on the First Circuit, the Court of Which He Was Briefly a Member Before Joining the Supreme Court.

It is Popularly Accepted That Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett Appointed by Republican Presidents Compose the Court's Conservative Wing.
United States Justice Supreme Court. Judicial Leanings. Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan, Appointed by Democratic Presidents Compose the Court's Liberal Wing. Gorsuch Had a Track Record as a Reliably Conservative Judge in the 10th Circuit. Kavanaugh Was Considered One of the More Conservative Judges in the DC Circuit Prior to His Appointment to the Supreme Court. Likewise Barrett's Brief Track Record on the Seventh Circuit is Conservative. Prior to Justice Ginsburg's Death, Chief Justice Roberts Was Considered the Court's Median Justice ( in the Middle of the Ideological Spectrum, With Four Justices More Liberal and Four More Conservative That Him ) Making Him the Ideological Center of the Court.
United States Justice Supreme Court. Tom Goldstein Argued in an Article in Scotus Blog in 2.010 That The Popular View of The Supreme Court as Sharply Divided Along Ideological Lines and Each Side Pushing an Agenda at Every Turn is in Significant Part a Caricature Designed to Fit Certain Preconceptions. He Pointed Out That in the 2.009 Term Almost Half the Cases Were Decided Unanimously and Only About 20% Were Decided by a 5 to 4 Vote. Barely One in Ten Cases Involved the Narrow Liberal/Conservative Divide ( Fewer if the Cases Where Sotomayor Recused Herself are Not Included ). He Also Pointed to Several Cases That Defied the Popular Conception of the Ideological Lines of the Court.
United States Justice Supreme Court. Goldstein Further Argued That The Large Number of Procriminal-Defendant Summary Dismissals ( Usually Cases Where the Justices Decide That the Lower Courts Significantly Misaplied Precedent and Reverse The Case Without Briefing or Argument ) Were an Illustration That The Conservative Justices Had Not Been Aggressively Ideological. Likewise Goldestein Stated That The Critique That The Liberal Justices are More Likely to Invalidate Acts of Congress, Show Inadequate Deference to the Political and Be Disrespectful of Precedent Also Lacked Merit: Thomas Has Most Often Called for Overruling Prior Precedent ( Even If Long Standing ) That He Views as Having Been Wrongly Decided and During the 2.009 Term Scalia and Thomas Voted More Often to Invalidate Legislation.
