Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the 2018 C. Herman Pritchett Award, Law and Courts Section, American Political Science Association"
"Baum persuasively illustrates the underlying complexity of ideology as not just a product of justices' values, but of the way justices' decisions are affected by social and political groups as well. According to Baum, by giving more attention to group affect as a source of polarity, scholars can gain a richer sense of ideology as an element in decision making in the Supreme Court." * Choice *
"Excellent and provocative. . . . I strongly recommend this book for all students of the Supreme Court."
---Thomas G. Hansford, Law and Politics Book Review"Baum provides a fascinating look at the evolution of ideology on the Supreme Court by exploring historical linkages between issue positions and ideology across issues. . . . His book is smart and will influence this conversation for a long time."
---Michael A. Bailey, Perspectives on Politics
