Sorry to dissent but I think the idea of comparing decisions of this Court to decisions made by prior courts tells us nothing useful, because it assumes that the prior Courts determinations were above average and there are some serious thinkers ( ie not MAGA supporters) who do not accept that view. The exclusive focus should be upon the extent to which the decision is persuasive in its own terms and faithfully sticks to the task of saying what the law is and not what a majority of the court wants the law to be; That is what is so deeply disturbing about the Court's handling of the Trump Immunity case in which the Majority of the Court has through the manipulation of the Shadow Docket essentially e created a Constitutional Immunity by preventing the Trial from taking place.
