In this research note I seek to determine whether a significantly predicting social background model for analyzing the votes of Supreme Court justices is time-bound. I argue that an affirmative result poses serious questions for past uses of such models, none of which has controlled for the possibility that time is a confounding variable. A model that significantly predicted the votes of the justices in the Court's 1903-1968 terms was constructed. Analysis with this model for two periods-from 1903 to 1935, and from 1936 to 1968-established that the model was not timeneutral. Appropriate theoretical implications are drawn
