These bare-majority Senate confirmation votes = a minority of Americans are represented. Out of 116 people confirmed to the Supreme Court, only five were confirmed by senators representing less than half the US population: Alito, Thomas, Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.

Federalist Society justices have abandoned previous norms of seeking consensus before overturning major precedents, especially when it comes to civil rights. In this chart, blue bars = decisions with 7+ votes, red bars = 5-4 decisions.
