We don't have a nine member Supreme Court. There are three Republican leaning judges voting as a block. There are four Democratic leaning judges voting as a lock. Justice Roberts, and Justice Kennedy are the only two that base their decisions on the case at hand. Every decision that is controversial is going to be decided by Roberts and Kennedy. The decision will be either 5/4 or 6/3.

You can't call the four progressive judges activists, and not call the three conservatives activists. They are both doing the same thing.
Just a very minor correction to your post. The word is "bloc" and not "block".

As stated in an earlier post, the justices are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The President will try to nominate a judge with the same political leanings.
