Something Just Happened At The Supreme Court That Has NEVER Happened Before

If you’re not familiar with the sports phenomenon of “Scorigami,” it describes a situation where teams set a final score that has never happened before in the history of the sport. For instance, has an NFL game ever ended in a 40-40 tie? The answer is yes, and it happened for the first time last year when Green Bay and Dallas tied on September 28th.

There were four final scores in the NFL last year that had never occurred before.

Now there’s a Twitter account tracking SCOTUSgami — the first time a decision features a particular lineup of justices. And it happened this week.

The guidelines for SCOTUSgami are a little different than the sports version. The author isn’t taking all the votes into account, meaning Kagan’s lone dissent here has no bearing on the SCOTUSgami. But a concurrence written by Sotomayor and joined only by Kavanaugh counts. A little more about the process…

It would be interesting to expand the -gami out to full lineups, for instance recognizing the 6-3 of a Sotomayor, joined by Kavanaugh concurrence with Kagan dissent as distinct from just a Sotomayor, joined by Kavanaugh concurrence alone. It would certainly create a lot more SCOTUSgami results at first — and the account is clear that “they shouldn’t be too frequent,” but the thing about any -gami is that there will be a lot of them at first, gradually petering out.

In any event, a fun new distraction for nerds watching the institution fall.
