Cliques

Note: Cliques are held to a higher standard than factions. A member of a faction agrees with at least one other member to the specified affinity, while a member of a clique agrees with all other members to the specified affinity. A member can be part of multiple cliques at the same affinity (like Senators Schumer (NY) and Baldwin (WI) below). The opposition is defined like before - a member of an opposition group agrees with all members of the reference clique (or faction) to the specified affinity, and the group is formed by including all members who meet that criteria. How members of an opposition group agree with each other is not specified.

Only cliques with three or more members are analyzed for opposition groups. Pairwise cliques are listed at the end.
