How do you measure it then?

  Before I answer that, let me give another wrong answer: We do not measure it by how well it advances a conservative agenda. That should expose what the problem is. The referee should not be one of the players, on either side. "Progressive progress" is the opposite of how we should judge the Supreme Court, just as "conservative progress" would be. And that should tell us the answer. We measure how well the Supreme Court does by how well it impartially judges based on the cases and the law, not based on any agenda. Now, judging that is obviously hard. Everyone is inclined to think the Supreme Court is biased against their position whenever it judges in a way they don't like. And maybe that's the only way to really measure it: If both sides think it's biased against them, then it might be doing rather well.

    I think you are confusing progressive progress with left wing Progressives, which is not the case I am making. I mean it as: making progress toward better conditions; employing or advocating more enlightened or liberal ideas, new or experimental methods, etc.: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/progressive https://www.dictionary.com/browse/progressive So in the light that Brown vs Board of Education was progressive progress.
