There are better ways than this but I guess when you're so practiced this is second nature.

Kagan voted the same way as Ginsburg did every time, with the exception of one case which involved a state's ability to sue an Indian tribe. (There were 10 cases with 5-4 decisions.) Across all 73 cases? She agreed with Ginsburg in 69 cases, more than any other justice. (SCOTUSblog.com: http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/SCOTUSblog_tables_OT13.pdf)

In the case where Kagan disagreed with Ginsburg, Michigan v. Bay Mills Indian Community, the vote was 5-4 for the Indian tribe. Guess what? Ginsburg voted with Scalia, Thomas and Alito and against the tribe. Is she a....?

Personally, I think she was a great choice.
