Supreme Court rulings show high unanimity and limits of power
The article explains how the Supreme Court often decides unanimously on constitutional challenges to congressional laws. It notes historical rates of unanimity and near-unanimity, and clarifies that the court cannot overrule Congress, only declare whether legislation conforms to the Constitution. It emphasizes the court’s role as arbiter, not policy maker.
