Why are there an odd number of justices on the Supreme Court?

2 answers:

6 0

This is most likely because of the ease when making judicial rulings. If there is an odd number of judges, then there will rarely be a tie vote. This can only occur when judges decide to abstain from voting. Most likely, the current court has an odd number of Justices to prevent an evenly split decision.

According to psychoanalytic theory, Abdul's belief that his classmates are hostile is a psychological projection because in reality, Abdul was the most hostile student in the school.
