Reviews

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 * 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 Winner of the 2018 C. Herman Pritchett Award, Law and Courts Section, American Political Science Association Excellent and provocative. . . . I strongly recommend this book for all students of the Supreme Court. ---Thomas G. Hansford, Law and Politics Book Review
