Answer:

There are 9 justices or judges, that's an odd number so each judge picks a side and the side with more judges wins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every justice's vote counts equally, but one justice has additional responsibilities. The Chief Justice leads meetings of the Court and often decides which justice writes opinions explaining the Court's rulings.
