They have, it is just extremely extremely rare
Or in a safer case where the conservatives had the case sealed up.
We have had a slim conservative majority on the court for a while, the only way Liberals win is by having a deflection from our side. It is the only way they can win and it does happen and is a big deal
When we win with our majority and a lib or two join in, it isn’t a big deal since we won anyways without them. Sometimes the decision can me unanimous as well.
Happened once or twice last year but I don’t remember the cases.
They should have been etched in stone in my head :)
Even more terrifying, I think it was RBG.
It will never happen again.
A little birdie once said that, back in the early 2000s, the four liberal justices on the court at the time had an unwritten agreement that they would stick together on certain things. Wouldn’t surprise me if something similar still exists although little birdies have not said as such.
Beyond that, the left controls the media and the legal community. They praise conservatives that go left and severely criticize those that don’t. Weak people (or those with big egos) are easily manipulated by such folk.
