Convince me the Supreme Court is not political 😳

"In the 17 cases in which the Biden administration sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court over four years, for instance, Justice Kavanaugh voted in its favor 41 percent of the time...

By contrast, in the 19 cases in which the court has ruled on applications from the second Trump administration, Justice Kavanaugh voted for the administration 89 percent of the time. That amounted to a 48 percentage-point gap in favor of President Trump.

Obviously the complaints being brought under ideologically different administrations will have different legal, not political, leanings.

It only makes sense that one batch will appeal to a justice more than the other on grounds that are purely legal.

The sets of cases being brought before Kavanaugh are very different, not directly comparable.
