Supreme Court justices’ political leanings got a lot more newspaper coverage after the 2016 death of Scalia - and reporters have been mentioning them ever since Original
The U.S. Supreme Court has always ruled on politically controversial issues. From elections to civil rights, from abortion to free speech, the justices frequently weigh in on the country’s most debated problems. And because of the court’s influence over national policy, political parties and interest groups battle fiercely over who gets appointed to the high court.

How the Intensity of Preference for Ideological Judges Influences Court Support
Recent studies show that people support courts more when they agree with their decisions and less when they disagree with them (Armaly 2021; Badas 2019; Bartels and Johnston 2013, 2020; Christenson and Glick 2015). Though not without controversy, those studies analyze how people’s ideological agreement with case outcomes influences their support for courts. While that approach has expanded our understanding of court support, there is more work to be done.

The Gender Gap in Supreme Court Legitimacy
Men and women diverge in their political behavior and attitudes. We test whether gender-based variation in political attitudes extends to perceptions of US Supreme Court legitimacy. Using a dataset covering the years 2012–2017, we show that one’s identification as a man or a woman predicts their diffuse support for the Court. In particular, women almost always extend less legitimacy to the Court than men do.
Analysis | Turbulent confirmation hearings don’t change how Americans view the Supreme Court
Do turbulent Senate confirmation hearings and controversial nominees affect public opinion of the court itself? Some believe they do. “We’re here to determine,” Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) suggested to Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh in 2018, “whether your confirmation would compromise or undermine the legitimacy of the court itself.” Our research suggests that the answer is no: Senate hearings, even on controversial or unpopular nominees, do not affect public respect for the Supreme Court.
When John Roberts defends the rule of law against Trump, does the public listen?
Attention is the currency of our contemporary political life, and two of our three branches of government are constantly printing that currency. President Trump has tens of millions of Twitter followers; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other congressional Democrats have successfully projected their voices into the public debate. For politicians in both of these branches, doing their job means speaking out — and being heard.
