Supreme Court releases trio of rulings with liberal justices joining majority opinions

Justice Amy Coney Barrett, one of six Republican-appointed justices on the conservative-majority court, authored a 9-0 unanimous decision in a bankruptcy case known as Bartenwerfer v. Buckley. The decision was followed by a 6-3 opinion authored by liberal Justice Elena Kagan in a labor dispute known as Helix Energy Solutions Group v. Hewitt, followed by a 5-4 decision by liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor favoring a death row inmate in Cruz v. Arizona.

Sotomayor authored the final opinion in favor of an Arizona death row inmate who argued he should be allowed to challenge his sentence in federal court but was blocked from doing so under a procedural rule. The decision held that the state Supreme Court can't simply rely on state procedural rules to block state prisoners from bringing federal constitutional claims, a decision joined by Republican-appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh along with Roberts, Kagan, and Jackson.

What strange framing since in two of the three it was the liberals who constituted a majority of the majority...

which one of them leaked Dobbs tho?
