David Orentlicher (Law and Medicine) published an opinion essay, "Unanimous decision making is essential for preserving the Supreme Court’s legitimacy," in The Hill. The essay discusses concerns about the Supreme Court's legitimacy and how the Court can restore public confidence by deciding its cases unanimously. Unanimous decisions are better because they take into account a broader range of relevant perspectives, and they are fairer because they reflect the views of both sides of the ideological spectrum. Hence, it is not surprising that the Court once observed a norm of consensus, that it generally requires unanimous decisions by juries, and that European high courts often decide cases by consensus.
