There are nine justices in the U.S. Supreme Court. For a majority ruling, five out of the nine justices would have to agree. The Supreme Court has an odd number of justices to avoid a tie.

For a majority ruling on the Supreme Court, a minimum of five out of the nine justices must agree. This is because a majority decision requires more than half of the justices to support a particular outcome or opinion. It is necessary to have a majority in order to establish a binding decision for the Court.
