How AI can help predict the voting behavior of Supreme Court justices
The lifetime tenure of each of the U.S. Supreme Court’s nine justices means they have long-lasting influences on the country’s affairs. How a justice votes in a case is a reflection of his or her judicial temperament, personal philosophy and political ideology.
Political scientists, lawyers, constitutional scholars and laymen alike closely watch the court. They often attempt to divine what happens during the justices' secret deliberation sessions and during the process of drafting the opinions that will ultimately be released to the public.
