Not at all. Not only is the Court not a single entity, but there isn't even
block voting so that you could say with confidence, for example, that liberals
are on one side and conservatives on the other.
There are studies of matters like which justices more often agree with each
other pairwise.
Several wikipedia articles you might find relevant are the section on Judicial
Leanings in "Supreme Court of the United States," "Ideological
leanings of U.S. Supreme Court justices," and "Segal–Cover
score."
But look at this latest case. Justices Ginsburg and Scalia are often
characterized as being on opposite ends of a spectrum, but Justice Ginsburg
wrote a dissent in most of which Justice Scalia joined. Justice Thomas, who
often has voted with Justice Scalia, instead joined the majority opinion.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
