Such decisions, which have become more common &amp; increasingly controversial in recent years, don’t identify how each justice voted.</p><p><a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JudicialEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JudicialEthics</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Judiciary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Judiciary</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JudicialReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JudicialReform</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/CourtReform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CourtReform</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SCOTUSreform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUSreform</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PartisanCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PartisanCourt</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ActivistCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivistCourt</span></a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/USpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USpol</span></a></p>
