The Supreme Court's Historic Challenge: Saving American Democracy

[Pommer]

Hard thing to swallow, I would expect most of the time the judges should all vote the same way.

Unanimous decisions are down to around 29% from a 2013 high of ~70%

No individual can change the Constitution. It takes a 2/3rds majority. Which means it most likely requires votes from both parties.
In the meantime the Supreme Court ensures the Govt don't operate outside the bounds of the constitution.

Just for the record, amending the Constitution requires more than that. Yes, a proposed amendment must pass both the House and Senate by a 2/3 margin. But then it be ratified by three fourths (38) of the state legislatures. The Constitution can also be amended if 2/3 of the states call for a Constitutional Convention. That’s never happened, and there are no rules for how a Con-Con would proceed. Which is pretty scary. But any proposed amendment would still have to ratified by 38 state legislatures.
