Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America’s Highest Court

In Supreme Disorder: Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America’s Highest Court (Regnery), Ilya Shapiro ’99 takes the recent controversies over the confirmations of Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch as evidence of an increasingly partisan Supreme Court. Shapiro posits that the only way the Court can return to its less-partisan origins is through reforms to grant states power the federal government has siphoned over the years.
