When the supreme court rules on a case, how many “agree” votes are needed to reach a verdict? a. the chief justice’s opinion is the verdict. b. a simple majority is needed. c. a 2/3 majority is needed. d. all nine justices must agree.

The right answer is B. The Court's decision is the opinion of the simple majority of justices.

When the Supreme Court rules on a case, a simple majority is needed to reach a 'verdict' (opinion). Once a decision has been made after a voting usually kept in secret, the justices issue the official written decision of the court. When the Chief Justice is part of the majority, he/she decides who will draft the written decision (he/she might do it him/herself). On the contrary, the longest-serving justice in the majority makes that decision.
