Theory: Judge Erdmann is the Justice Kennedy of CAAF

Is Judge Erdmann becoming the Justice Kennedy of CAAF? I am horrible at these WWBJD type of posts, but I briefly perused opinions for the last 2 terms (well, 1 and a 1/4 terms). J Erdmann has been in the majority in all cases during that time except 6. Two notable dissents for J Erdmann were Wuterich and Lopez de Victoria. I haven't done the math to see how many dissents all other judges had, but even J Baker, who is part of the most likely alliance on the court with CJ Effron, had 9 non-majority result opinions.

I also noticed that J Erdmann was all over the ideological map in CAAFlog's July 2008 Not so Entangling Alliances post. According to CAAFlog's rankings, J Erdmann was almost as likely to be paired with CJ Effron as J Ryan. His rankings for pairing with J Stucky and J Baker were similarly close, ranking 7 and 6, respectively. I'll keep an eye on this and see if I can prove my hypothesis, though I was hoping for a greater spread with the Baker dissents.
