That jibes with my impression of the decisions I’ve seen. You and a sibling comment are giving me these stats and I’m not sure if that’s to refute or support my point? 1/3 of decisions being split like that is quite a bit. 1/3 being unanimous is also significant.
I guess my point is that their friendship didn’t seem to have impaired either justice’s ability to do their job with faith to their respective judicial philosophies.
- arwineap 6y agogybes ? I get confused with all the sailing terms in common vernacular, but generally the sayings go "I like the cut of your jib" "That gybes well with me" Noting that none of them make sense, I think leeway is possibly the worst

- function_seven 6y agoYou made me look it up, and it turns out I was using it correctly. But it's funny, because I had originally written "jives", then second-guessed myself and changed it to "jibes." I had never seen the "gybes" spelling before. Is it like tire/tyre? Looks Welsh to me!
