    Conventional wisdom suggests that the Supreme Court, like the country, is deeply divided along partisan and ideological lines. But this overlooks the court’s historic recent run of unanimous decisions and the fact that the liberal and conservative justices often don’t vote as blocs.

    Court critics tend to respond to these inconvenient realities by saying something like, “Sure,” but on the big cases, the culturally divisive ones, the conservatives form the majority and the liberals the dissenting minority.
