I don’t see how anyone could be more wrong than Souter or Ginsburg.
Interesting choice of the timeline for the ideological leanings of Supreme Court Justices.
The progressive revolution in the supreme court was well underway in 1935. McReynolds, for example, started serving in 1914, was appointed by uber-progressive Woodrow Wilson.
Wonderful graph!
It interesting to see a general trend from conservative to liberal over time. Even with some recent appointments trending upwards there is a “general slant downwards. I guess it makes sense after the 60’s.
Thanks for posting this. I never heard of this rating. I guess I have some homework now.
Wonderful chart. Shows what we have all deduced: Rehnquist, Thomas and Scalia were our only consistent champions, with Alito coming along nicely. Thomas should be Chief Justice.
