O'Connor, Scalia, Kennedy, Souter, Thomas, Ginsburg, and Breyer
for the 2000 term of the U.S. Supreme Court. It contains data
from 43 non-unanimous cases. The votes are coded liberal (1) and
conservative (0) using the protocol of Spaeth (2003). The unit
of analysis is the case citation (ANALU=0). We are concerned with
formally decided cases issued with written opinions, after full
oral argument and cases decided by an equally divided vote
(DECTYPE=1,5,6,7).
