Q: What is the percentage of the supreme courts conservative majority has voted on par with what Trump wanted?

A: Based on the Supreme Court's rulings from 2017 to 2021 (during the Trump administration), the conservative majority of the court voted in line with the Trump administration's position in a significant number of cases. While the exact percentage can vary depending on how cases are categorized and analyzed, multiple studies have found that the conservative justices sided with the Trump administration's stance in the majority of cases where the administration took a position.

For example, a July 2020 analysis by The Washington Post found that in cases where the Trump administration took a position, the four conservative justices appointed before Trump took office (Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Anthony Kennedy) voted in favor of the administration's position about 70% of the time. The two Trump-appointed justices at that time, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, voted with the administration 80% and 90% of the time, respectively.

It's important to note that Supreme Court justices are meant to rule based on their interpretation of the Constitution and the law, not to align with the positions of a particular administration. Additionally, the court's composition has changed since 2021 with the appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The full impact of the current 6-3 conservative majority on long-term jurisprudence will continue to unfold in the coming years.
