Fоr yeаrs, cоngressiоnаl scholаrs have been ridiculed for their over reliance on roll-call based datasets. What two more recent developments do you think are fruitful avenues of future research? Why?

Considering legal factors broadly, such as court precedents or even norms as well as legal texts, what role does "the law" play in US Supreme Court justices' decisions?
