Which Justices are most often in the majority?

[Jon]

For this term only. Kind of surprising.

Sotomayor - 97%
Kagan, Kavanaugh, Jackson - 95%
Roberts, Barrett - 92%
Gorsuch - 81%
Thomas - 78%
Alito - 73%

Still, it points to a rather centrist court, in terms of decisions.

[Jon]

It’s sort of an indicator that most cases have no culture war valence.

[Mik]

I think you'd have to segregate those that do and don't and look at those numbers .

[Axtremus]

But who is to say whether a case has a culture war valance?

What's the criterion here?
"More frequently in majority" == "more centrist"
"Less frequently in the majority" == "more extreme" ?

When the cases in point are before us to be judged individually, it is suboptimal to draw conclusions from aggregate statistics like this.

I recall one unanimous decision recently talked about here, which had enough culture war valence that the reporting pretended it was split down the middle 5 to 4.
