[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]I think that an 8 member court might actually benefit liberals at this point because the lower courts are well-stocked with Obama appointees. The more lower court decisions that stand, the likely it is better for the left. [/quote] There are some problems with 4-4 splits. First, you will end up with conflicting lower court decisions, i.e. the law in the 9th is different from the law in the 5th circuit. Second, a future court can take up the case again. [/quote]
