Why you’re thinking about the Supreme Court in the wrong way
About this episode
The episode discusses different perspectives on how Supreme Court justices approach their rulings, focusing on their tolerance for change.
Political partisanship is one way to measure how the Supreme Court justices think about how their rulings affect the nation. SCOTUSblog editor Sarah Isgur says another, she believes more important way, has to do with their tolerance for change, with the justices ranging from order-loving institutionalists to true chaos agents. *** Thank you for listening.
