Ethics

Interesting Factoid

By Ed Brayton

For those who still insist, contrary to all evidence, that Clarence Thomas is just Scalia's lapdog, here are the numbers on which justices vote most often with one another:

Souter and Ginsburg: 88% of the time

Scalia and Roberts: 83% of the time

Roberts and Alito: 81% of the time

Scalia and Thomas: 79% of the time

I wonder when we'll hear someone claim that Ginsburg is just Souter's lapdog, or vice versa? I'm betting on "never."
