Ok, thanks. Do you also know how split decisions are handled now?

  Split decision means the lower court decision is affirmed. Simple majority is required for a reversal, or any change to status quo. Think about the Supreme Court as a very small Senate. The individual justices do not make decisions. The whole body does. They do operate a lot like a legislative body procedurally.
