Well no because the six number refers to that coalition that doesn't believe in legislating from the bench. It should be the case that all nine justices of the supreme court believe they are not legislators.

For example RBG has said several times that roe v wade was wrongly decided. An impartial judge would therefore believe in striking it down but she voted not to do so several times. Unfortunately many justices still believe that their job is not solely to interpret laws established via democratic processes.
