Show notes

But look at the statistics: 45.8% of cases in the 2023-24 term were unanimous, including some big cases, and only half of the High Court's 6-3 decisions this year were split along ideological lines. Yet voters won't hear those figures from Joe Biden, as he runs against Donald Trump, and the Supreme Court, in November's election.
