Presumably true, but that stat may be less telling than you think...

Last year, every Supreme Court Justice agreed with every other justice most of the time, except Sotomayor/Alito (they agreed 49% of the time)[0].

Most judges agree on most cases. This is true on the Supreme Court and gets more true as you go down the hierarchy.

That doesn't mean the disagreements aren't important.
