A: In simpler words:

A: 1. Yes, the "home country" refers to the "one country" in the first line.

A: The US Supreme Court has 9 justices (judges). Five justices makes a majority. Four justices is a minority. If the Court makes a decision by a 5-4 vote, someone will write the explanation of the majority's decision. That person is writing for the five-justice majority. (He or she could also write for a six-justice majority, or a seven- or eight-justice majority.) Someone else may write an explanation about why the minority disagrees, and would have decided the case differently. That other justice then would be writing for a four-justice minority (or a three-, two-, or one-justice minority -- the last case being for himself or herself, to explain why he or she thinks the majority is wrong.)
