Not cherrypicking, honest, officer! Anyway, I didn't include those stats since scotusblog hasn't presented them yet... probably because they aren't even done deciding/releasing all the 2025 cases! (And the SCOTUS term is like a college year, it goes from October 2025 to April 2026.) Anyway, out of the decided cases from October 2025 to April 2026, I count 15.5 unanimous out of 28 (more than 50%). (½ unanimous because it was an 8-0 vote.)
I'll have to get back to you about the ideological split. Presumably the MQs haven't changed, so this would be a simple counting exercise. Would need to check the 2024 statpack methodology.
Edit: I counted 2/28 split ideologically. Could go up to 4/28 depending on how you define it. And of course, these stats could change a lot as more decisions come in. But presumably the public perception of ideological divisions is driven by _decided_ cases, and these statistics would suggest that's unfounded.
