The 2018 - 2019 SCOTUS term, which began amid the most contentious Supreme Court nomination in history, has ended. As always, there have been decisions that left liberals and conservatives sputtering about the politicization of the court, as well as alliances that surprised the SCOTUS pundit circuit.
